Blizzard doesn’t come close. | |
Hurricane misses the mark. Wind | |
tunnel might catch the nuts and | |
bolts, but it can’t convey the gut feeling | |
I don’t know if anything can. | |
The spire breathes you in and for | |
the merest instant it almost seems | |
calm: The walls are a blur but | |
there’s no resistance as long as you | |
just go with the flow. Then you | |
reach out for a handhold, grab on | |
to the first thing that hits your | |
fingers, and the wind slams down | |
on you like a mountain at Mach Two. | |
I’d have never even made the | |
catch without the suit; my fingers | |
would have ripped right off my | |
hand. If I had made the catch, I’d | |
never have held on; I would have | |
left my arm hanging against the | |
wall while the rest of me slammed | |
down into— | |
Crysis: Legion, ERECTION | |
[Spire wind resistance | |
The spore blasts down, around, past me like a | |
storm of needles, like ball bearings | |
from a railgun. BUD strafes my | |
visual cortex with yellow-coded | |
updates on epidermal integrity and | |
maximum armor settings but it’s all | |
just talk; the suit’s abrading around | |
me like a heat shield on reentry. | |

[Spore tower wind resistance] | |
I try to bring it (a L-TAG) up but the wind | |
resistance is too great; the most I | |
can do is aim down and off-center, | |
toward the wall of the shaft. | |
