CHEMICAL/BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS
BIO-TECHNICA NEUROAGENTS price varies
Bio-Technica Neuroagents are colorless and odorless aerosol dispersed narcotic with a light bitter taste that directly and severely affect the emotional centers of the brain. They take about 30 seconds after initial exposure to take effect, with an effective duration of about 5 minutes after exposure has ended. The most common method of using them is either through a hand held 5 dose sprayer, similar to a pepper spray canister, or via gas grenade (usually enough to fill a 20/20 room). Some of the Neuroagents can also be bought in a canister roughly the size of a fire extinguisher, containing enough of the substance to fill a small office building if dispersed through an operating ventilation system. All Neuroagents are strictly illegal for anyone but police or military use. (Resisting a Neuroagent requires a Very Difficult Resist Torture/Drug check)
CRYBABY 50eb per 5 dose vial, 200eb per grenade
This Neuroagent uses its narcotic effect to put those effected into a deep sense of sadness and loss, often drudging up painful memories such as the death of a loved one. The effect is so severe that within moments of onset they are reduced to a sobbing heap, incapacitated by grief. This is one of the more effective Neuroagents in terms of practical application, and has been bought by many police departments, federal agencies, and military forces for dealing with hostage situations. A gas canister can be purchased for 1200eb.
CUDDLES 50eb per 5 dose vial, 200 per grenade
Cuddles induces a state of extreme pleasantness and affection, providing a “warm, fuzzy” feeling. Those under it’s influence say it’s like standing in the sunshine with an armful of puppies. While not altogether effective in hostage situations, it has been shown to have some effectiveness in riots, and has shown great promise in mental institutions when dealing with raging individuals. Some Cybercrime police units have been expressing interest in using it as a non-lethal alternative when dealing with individuals suffering from Cyberpsychosis induced rage. A gas canister can be purchased for 1200eb.
LUST (not available legally at all)
Called by the media “The Rape Spray” this Neuroagent is not sold, and according to Biotechnica it was only created for research purposes and is no longer being made. This Neuroagent targets the libido, sending it wildly out of control. All sexual inhibitions are lost and the target can only think of satisfying their carnal urges. While this substance is not manufactured officially, it appears the formula has reached the streets, where it sells for 200eb per dose. Possessing even a single dose of this substance is a felony with a mandatory minimum of a 10 year prison sentence, sex offender registration, and in some states chemical castration.
PENITENT 65eb per 5 dose vial, 240eb per grenade
This works similarly to Crybaby, but instead of sadness and grief it causes intense feelings of guilt. This Neuroagent has never taken off, as it’s effects can lead to a panicked state, making it useless for hostage situations or crowd control, and can quite possibly have the opposite effects, as subjects under it’s influence often become suicidal… It has however been shown to be a very effective interrogation tool, as guilty parties will often confess their crimes. However as anyone effected by this has a tendency to confess all their crimes, including things that may not actually be illegal, or crimes they are not being investigated for, it’s use is a topic of hot debate, and many human rights groups are lobbying to make its use illegal. Not sold by the canister.
TANTRUM (Not available legally)
Tantrum induces feelings of rage, frustration, and anger. Originally it was developed with military application in mind, but human rights groups and the United Nations quickly asserted that it violated the Geneva convention and its use and manufacture was outlawed in the world court. There are rumors that the military continues to produce it.
POISONS
In addition to a host of the more common (and uncommon)
poisons available, Autumn Blade has developed the
following:
AVIARY
RICE EFFECT 900eb per dose
We have all heard stories of how when you feed rice to a
bird, it will expand inside them and cause them to
burst. To imitate this effect, Autumn Blade
has devised a chemical that upon contact with stomach
acids will expand rapidly, filling up the stomach
quickly and causing the victim to explode from the
inside in a minimum of 5 hours. The chemical is
odorless and tasteless and is meant to be mixed with
food or drink. An antidote is available for 420eb,
and must be taken within 4 1/2 hours of receiving the
poison. (The effects of the poison are very
painful, but unless suspicion is aroused, it will be
diagnosed as an extreme case of indigestion.)
JELLO
DEATH 1675eb per dose
This is a contact poison which forms a gel when exposed
to air, and becoming liquid again when exposed to
water. It is best utilized by placing it in the
shower or faucet head, then when the victim turns on the
water to take a shower or wash his hands, it’s all
over. This is a very fast acting poison (will kill
within 30 seconds of contact) and there is no
antidote. After turning to liquid, it will become
very sticky for 30 seconds, and then be diluted by the
water harmlessly. All the evidence is washed down
the drain leaving the facility safe again. (Note:
the poison has a strong scent of almonds and burns on
contact.)
