*Looks sharply toward the fire*
...No. At least, not one that would work for you.

@Webmaster

Okay, that's fine. *Pulls a spray bottle out of my backpack, shuts my eyes, and sprays all over my face and head* Ugh, I hate this stuff. Anything else you want to let me know before I go down there?

The leak is where the big ball of duct tape is.

Heh, thanks. I'll be out in a jiffy. *Goes through the door and looks to see what's ahead of me*

*The entire pathway is normal but with thick green gas obscuring the view*

*It is quickly outputted by a broken pipe held together with duct tape, glue, and fabric*

Needs more science. *A translucent, rippling wall appears, blocking the area from the outside; I touch the conglomeration and it loses all stickiness, falling apart*

*The pipe falls off and floods the corridor with gas, pumping more out the door and the manhole*

@Webmaster

*The wall prevents gas from escaping to the outside, so it concentrates the room, but I siphon the gas out into space through a portal* Okay, now to get rid of the problem indefinitely. Gas, gas, gas, what are you and where did you come from? *I collapse into a ball of gas, enter the pipe system, and scan for the source*
