- Nutritional Value/Allergies/Side Effects/ Purpose:
- No nutritional value.
- Over-dose can cause physical pain, muscle exhaustion, muscle damage, nerve damage, over-stimulation of the senses or mind, and prolonged fatigue or decreased immunity.
- Enhances combative aspects including strength, speed, sensory awareness, mental awareness, resilience, and over-all energy levels for a limited time.
- Enhances many combative abilities
- Relatively safe so long as taken in limited doses and user doesn't attempt to use all two hours at full capacity.
- Can be used multiple times in a day (use with caution)
- Small quantity repeated or drip-based doses can result in better ability to avoid damage. Several 20 minute doses spread with minutes between, is far safer than a single 1 hour dose.
- Overdoses can cause severe side-effects, and even long lasting damage or death.
- Minor fatigue even without over-dose, after wear-off. The more stamina the individual already has the better they can handle this but could easily wipe out someone who doesn't exercise daily.
- Does not increase intelligence, only mental awareness of sensory information.
- The only healing ability it increases is ability to close wounds. It will NOT regenerate limbs or lost tissue.
- An unhealthy individual is not advised to use this product, it can cause strain on the muscles and nerves that could be permanent if the individual is not very careful.
- Attempting a dose after a 2 hour dose is still very dangerous, even with a short resting period. Advised at least 30 minutes.
DESCRIPTION
The stim was designed and used by Victoria Cross, it was meant as another equalizer available to increase her combat potential without pure cybernetic enhancements and even the playing field with physically superior opponents. While effective short term it still poses serious risk to those who use it incorrectly, or are already unhealthy. The result was shown to be able to be worth selling, though naturally any buyer would need to understand they were inherently taking a risk just by using it. As any pre-existing condition or damage was putting them at risk, as was using too much, or even just not being above average in fitness. Due to her own factory limitations, Victoria chose to make a deal with Arctis Genetics so that they had the right to develop and sell the product. Ensuring it's presence on the market and her own access to it without having to constantly develop it herself.
