Logbook Entry
ARDA Briefing, recorded March 26th, 1966.
Alright people. First of all, we have to stop calling these things geysers. A geyser launches a jet of water, not gas. These things are blasting warm air and... whatever goo this is. Got that? Have you got that? Second, whatever you do, do not try to enter one. These things go deep. Turns out the Zone isn’t just wrecking things above ground, and these are some kind of thin fissure resulting from the earth’s crust being scrambled up. They’re blasting jets of warm air from as far down as the mantle. Third, these might not be entirely bad news. We think they’re acting almost like a valve that prevents greater pressure from building. This may be why the geological activity we expect in the Pacific Northwest has decreased. We hope to know more soon. In the meantime, not geysers, okay? Stop calling them geysers. Please.
Huh? What did you say over there? Yeah, sure, they look like that. Call them Barnacles. Whatever.
Synopsis
This geyser-like structure launches hot balls of goo into the air. If one of these balls hits the Car, it will cover the windshield in green sludge which impacts visibility. If they strike the ground, they have a chance of turning into Rotten Eggs.
Counter
Turning on the windshield wipers scrapes off the green sludge.
