I mean, if the Helghast initially survived by using the helmets and masks before adapting (by mutation possibly, so I guess it could be viewed as evolution), then how come an invading military force doesn't need any of that. You know, the War of the Worlds theme could easily be applied to the ISA invading the alien (to them) world filled with unknown hazards. When the Helgast invaded Vectra, they had breathing aid. It seams logical that when the Vectrans would invade Helgan, they should have the breathing aid. |
according to the backstory on the website.. the mask where only needed by the lower class.. working in the mines and the refinerys.. .and the effect took years to show.. so isa eithe doesent know about this.. or they think that they will be off the rock before its getting dangerous.... the only reason all hellghast now wear the masks is because once scolar visary came to power he introduced the mask.. to all classes.. makiing them all equal.. and the mask the symbol of their evolution from man to .something else .. .they dont need them anymore.. but they wear them as a symbol of being a hellghast
