"Well if you knew anything about heavy metals like titanium, you'd know they old onto radiation.  Someone wearing one of these walked into even a slightly irradiated zone, this mask would drink up the rads.  From then on, if you walked around wearing it, it'd be like inhaling poison.

"Secondly, here," he turned the mask over in his hands and tapped the inside. "That's shielding.  Lead lined-- to keep radiation in, not out.  And it's shielded to protect against the wrong kind of radiation too.  Not gamma rays, some kind of cosmic rays, which the atmosphere protects you from well enough."

He turned the mask over again, and tapped the nose.

"Theres no rebreather-- the chamber of the mask that covers the nose is seperated from the mouth, and it's got holes to let air in.  Without them, this thing would suffocate you.  And thirdly, strangest of all, is these,"

He pointed to the buttons on the side. "Up fortifies the lead-lining, down causes it to open like a vent.  Whoever designed this was expecting to walk around coughing up radioactive waste." The man carelessly tossed the mask back into the pile. "Which no one does.  It's probably the most expensive piece of trash of ever built."
