Now Ricks lab had various safety containment systems in it to keep the highly questionable
and dangerous biological chemicals he was playing with from escaping the lab.
So it was the pink liquids and fumes went only to two places,the decontamination drums buried deep below
and into Ricks lungs and eyes.Realizing he posed a biohazard to human civilization Rick
]proptly put on a hazmat suit to keep himself and the dangerous stuff now racing through his
bloodstream inside.
Then he'd felt that first dizzy spell and when he'd recovered found himself trapped
halfway out the basement window by the hazmat suits bulky portable power plant and
cooling system.
It had been a neighbour who'd seen the strange figure in the astronaut like suit waving frantically
from the basement window and had called 911.
Brendan had gone AWOL in all this.
So it was that Rick was stuck in the window frame when the next wave of dizziness hit him.
Through watery eyes he watched as the repiration covering his nose and mouth slowly pushed forward,
first a eighth of a inch,then a quarter inch,then three quarters of a inch and then as his nose began
to flatten against his emerging snout,his jaws pushed out to a full four inches from his face
and the respirator was pushed totally away as his nostrils swelled and enlarged and flowed upwards
till they resembled the nostrils the Derbyshire dragon had.
