⊳[INCOMING MESSAGE]

"Hey, I was wondering if Altair Command could help me out with a little project. You see, there was this girl that earned me my death sentence in Rheinland. She's called 3167, and she might be the most beautiful lil' seductress I ever seen.

Now, I was hearing about all those problems with Corsairs and the Freeport in Theta, and even about some spineless government on Pygar, and I got to thinkin': "3167 could handle them all real nice." Yeah, it might leave them in a permanent vegetative state. It'll give them something like super-dementia for a few weeks at the very least. But I ain't seen her in a bit, and I was just wondering if you could whip up a batch and let me engage in a little. . . "Proof of Concept", if you would. It's not like Pygar is going to fight back, after all.

I'll attach a record of the chemical structure, along with a little dossier on her too."

Attachments

Chemical Warfare Agent 3167 (CWA-3167) is a potent and long-lasting anticholinergic deliriant drug, related to the chemical warfare agent 3-quinuclidinyl benzilate (CWA-QNB). It was developed during the Sol war as part of a military chemical weapons program, in an attempt to develop non-lethal incapacitating agents.

The intensity of CWA-3167's effects is unparalleled among known psychoactive substances of any class. Incapacitating effects can last anywhere from 5-10 days, sometimes manifesting as a full 3-day peak of vivid hallucinations, along with prolonged confusion, amnesia, and inhibition of speech and cognition. Some subjects exposed to the drug would not fully recover for almost 20 days. Even six months after exposure, a few subjects demonstrated significant increases in the scores on the hypochondriasis, depression, hysteria, psychasthenia, schizophrenia, and mania scales. The drug's potency caught the attention of the Rheinland Military after it's use in terrorist activities by one Kendrick Walter, a Libertonian who claims his motives were "doing it for the love of the game", and was quickly added to the list of outlawed dangerous pharmaceuticals. Studies regarding weponization were abandoned due to the extreme nature of its effects and the strain on available study resources caused by conducting human studies for extended periods.
