Xanthos said, " I still think that Andrews situation is caused by the bullet that hit him." But Andrew was never shot by a bullet. Andrew reported being shot with a flame thrower:
"He raised and aimed the tube at his side. There was a terrible loud noise and I saw a gigantic fireball coming in my direction. I leaped to the left, and scrambled behind a boulder. I don't remember scrunching my legs in close, but I guess I did. I am still OK. I have some blisters and scorch marks along my side, but my paint is still blue, mostly."
His original description of the weapons states, "I found out what the tubes do. There are two kinds. One fires projectiles. The other kind sends out a sheet of flame." And, "The projectile could punch a hole in my casing, but it would probably miss my CPU or anything strategic. On the other hand, the flamethrower could really fry my circuits."
Sounds to me like he has fried circuits. Bad Ju-Ju. Very bad Ju-ju.
