"A map would be good." Farfarello closed his eye for a moment, thinking. Without knowing exactly which chemicals were there he could only provide so much information, but that was fine--it was just as well not to give a potential enemy the means to really fuck you up. He did remember Gin from that night in the Sun Room, though, so he knew the man could probably do plenty of damage even without his help.
"Well, it'd be better if I had specifics, but okay. One thing to look at is how things are stored. If they're in an air-tight container, it's probaby because something bad'll happen when they come into contact with air, or with water. Lye, that's sodium hydroxide," Farfarello gestured for Gin's notebook, wanting to write down some of the chemical names while he was talking, "is one that can cause chemical burns, and gets hot when it comes in contact with water. Even sweat can be enough."
"Acids can be plenty nasty all on their own, but hydrochloric acid mixed with bleach will give you chlorine gas. Gotta be real careful with that one, though, because it'll do you just as much damage as your enemy if you breathe it in." That was the problem with a lot of the really nasty chemical weapons--you were at risk, too.
