    Hate how your crew members jump into poison, lava, or other hazards like they're a swimming pool?

    Simply put, they need to know to avoid all these things. The lava and poison could be relatively simple, as making the crew member treat them like an chasm too wide to cross. often ending up with them saying their standard "I can't reach you" phrase. Might be a little tricky with stuff like barbwire but nevertheless this is needed.

    They could also have some... "colorful" language concerning certain hazards.

    General Hazard reactions:
    • "That's too hazardous for me to traverse."
    • "Can't cross, too dangerous!"
    • "Um, captain? A little help?"
    Reactions to Poison Pools:
    • "I am NOT swimming in that!"
    • "This stuff's too toxic to swim through..."
    • "Ick... This is lethally unsanitary."
    Reactions to Lava:
    • "Oh GREAT..."
    • "Do I look suicidal? No thanks."
    • (Floran) "Hisss! Lava! Why lava?"
    Reaction to spikes and other physical hazards
    • "I'm not a fan of being a shish-kabob."
    • "Ugh... I HATE spikes!"
    • (Floran) "Stabby spikes! Only floran should stab!"

    This could also be utilized to make crew members avoid certain boss attacks that are generally meant to be dodged. I can already think of several amusing lines for their reaction to these.
    • "Take cover!"
    • "Crap! Run!"
    • "Oh HECK NO!"
    • "Are you kidding me?"
    • "Floran flee! Must sssurvive!"
    So, thoughts?
