Biography[]
After the horrors in Truth or Consequences, SMOKE did not hesitate to join REACT to combat the new Parasite threat. A self-taught expert in chemistry and biology, he is especially well suited to engage the Archæans and brings a wealth of operational experience to the team. His specially designed Z9 toxic gas grenades are particularly effective against these new enemies.
Psychological Profile[]
Assessing Porter's expertise in fields of chemistry and biology. Self taught. This speaks a certain amount of discipline. (QUERY: drive, determination)
Expanding on effect of being self-taught: Porter is innovative and not constrained to learned methods of learning. This approach may yield extraordinary results with the Chimera. (INSERT: E. Cohen - "Learned methods of learning" is an interesting way of putting it. And insightful. Try query "learning styles". @INDEX)

Ability
Compound Z9 Grenade |
A Medium Armored Operator, Smoke is equipped with three Compound Z9 Remote Gas Grenades, remotely detonated gas canisters that will damage and possibly kill whoever it comes in contact with. Smoke is immune to the effects of the gas cloud.
At Operator level 2, the gas grenade count is increased to four. At Operator level 7, the cloud damage is increased to 85 damage and affected enemies become scanned. Finally, at Operator level 10, the gas grenade count is further increased to five and the cloud duration will increase to 10 seconds.
Other operators are immune to damage from the gas cloud, and Archaeans in the cloud are considered Smoked for the purposes of takedowns.
- Gas Grenades are thrown by Smoke and stick onto surfaces they touch. Once activated, the Grenade will release a toxic gas cloud that is 5 meters in diameter.
- Gas Grenades have a light throwing profile similar to Impact Grenades.
- Gas Grenades can be detonated anywhere at any time. However, the only exception is if a Gas Grenade is still deployed after Smoke enters KO status.
- The gas cloud primarily spreads parallel to the surface that the grenade is attached to. The cloud will not spread perpendicularly, and will not spread to areas behind it. The surface area of the gas cloud is similar to an actual Smoke Grenade.
- Like normal smoke grenades, the Gas Grenade will only let pinging target the gas cloud.
- The gas cloud is a translucent yellow, and physically acts like a Smoke Grenade cloud, blocking vision in the given area.
- Even after the gas cloud is dissipated the cloud will linger for a couple seconds after and only obscure minimal vision. At this point, it won't deal any damage.
- The gas cloud is capable of destroying Blinding Spores and Sower Mines.
