"No..." You double check. "No."
"It it glowing?"
"No."
"Is it opening fire on us?"
"Not at all, sir."
"Then. Who cares?" He crosses his arms and looks to the road ahead.
"Reminds me of the spikes we used to raise around the X-Zones." NUMBERS catches your quizzical head tilt in the side-view mirror. "Those are the uh, you know, the places where you taste metal in your mouth and see white spots when you close your eyes. The nasty XOM radiation shit."
"Ah, so that's what they're called." You don't need to be a Practioner to know that radiation is bad for humens.
