About cardamine

[Dab]

I don't know where Ceoran came up with that stuff, but Outcasts don't -have- to go to Malta all the time. There are even Outcasts who go to Malta at most once a year. The entire invention of Cardi Masks was to allow Outcasts to leave Malta and not suffer side effects of any kind.

Furthermore, Cardamine only affects you through inhalation. Touching your skin won't do anything. That's like saying Morphine will affect you because some got on your skin.. No. I gets in through breathing it, not through it seeping into your skin.

Liquid Cardi -will- kill you no matter what. That's part of the lore. Outcasts are still trying to research a way to get Liquid Cardi to be injected without killing someone. I believe however that you can take Liquid Cardi and heat it into a gas that is the same as normal Cardi gas, though it'll be thicker if you keep it in a confined space. That's why it's a good thing to smuggle, as it's hard to detect and small, but provides a large amount of Cardi.
