      You'll need a pressure suit to survive on Mars, since the atmosphere is less than 1% the pressure than on Earth. Very similar effects to being in pure vacuum would happen if you didn't have a pressure suit, with some added Martian dust in your eyes to make things a little worse. You would die in about 3 minutes, and then your skin would slowly expand to about twice its size 0_0

    You know… I think the thing that endears me most about Lord Blackwood is the sense of wonder he seems to have. A genuine sense of curiosity and love for discovery and adventure. It befits a naturalist, I suppose. Even his faith, which normally I find makes characters feel ignorant or closed-minded when brought to scrutiny, seems to be of the kind where it can adapt and rationalize around new, seemingly contrary or challenging discoveries. A learned, yet faithful man. Truly, a remarkable gentleman.

    Love these. Thanks for sharing them with us. If the author happens to come through here - thanks for writing it. I need some escape lately. I go to the methadone clinic and as you can imagine - the people there aren't always of the highest caliber. Plenty are great but plenty more are awful violent people. A couple thought I said something to them under my breath and refused to believe me when I said that I hadn't said anything and had no reason to say anything. They insisted that I had said something about them and that they would find out what I had to say in the parking lot. I called the cops, they were indeed waiting for me but someone warned them and they left. Two days ago the guy tried to ambush me outside the clinic and I got into my car to lock the door just in time. He tried to open it and I nearly ran him over in my haste to get away. I filed a police report then and I talked with the clinic today. Hopefully I will have peace there from now on. I'm worried about another ambush situation and I will be vigilant about protecting myself. I have firearm that I have no desire nor intention to use unless I am in great danger and escape is impossible. All this over one ridiculous misheard noise attributed to me by these people. Still, going to the clinic is far better than chasing heroin and I'm grateful to be alive at all. Otherwise how would I explore with everyone here? Again, my sincere thanks to The Exploring Series ( I don't remember your actual name) and to the the authors of the SCP wiki.
