Stym

Stym is a stimulant-based drug manufactured and sold by Galactic Horizon that was made available to the public in early YE 41, rather than being some new strain of bacteria or plant extract it is instead a very specific blend of stimulants and fatigue-dampening drugs that is designed with the purpose of giving short bursts of immense energy to the user.

• Manufacturer: Galactic Horizon
• Price: 75ks/150rn/refer to here for currency exchange per injector

Each unit of Stym is a mostly-Durandium Alloy autoinjector with a cap over the business end, underneath this is a ARTC vial that contains the stimulating cocktail itself – a greeny/yellow liquid that seems to glow ever so slightly, a thin vertical slit is cut out of the Durandium Alloy outer casing as a basic gauge to determine how much Stym is left in the injector. The drug itself is a cocktail of potent CNS stimulants and amphetamine enantiomers among other things that is used as an athletic performance and cognitive enhancer, helping users push beyond limitations put in place by factors such as fatigue.

Remove cap, jab into thigh or other large muscle / alternatively can be ingested as a liquid that tastes faintly of green-apple soda or a mist ¹⁾.

It takes seconds for the drug to begin kicking in and the effect generally lasts 20-30 minutes on a single dosage, fatigue tends to catch up fairly quickly once the drug has fully worn off, which generally takes about a minute to leave their system – species such as Minkan and Nekovalkyrja earlier than the type 33 model experience these same effects but for a third of the duration, it is rather potent stuff.

Do not take this drug if you:

• are pregnant
• have a heart condition or a family history of heart condition
• have allergies to any of the substances that it is made of

Do not expose the injectors to open flame nor temperatures exceeding 150 degrees Celsius²⁾ as this may cause rapid combustion that fragments the casing, causing it to become shrapnel in the explosive reaction that follows.

For the duration of the drug’s effect fatigue is but a distant memory and they find themselves able to run without feeling the sting of lactic acid in their muscles, ignore injuries such as muscle strains and in addition to all that it also makes the user able to think and react quicker - with all that in mind it is easy to see why some people liken it to a biological overlock of one’s systems, albeit temporary. Though once it has worn off then all that your body has just been through begins to set in fairly quickly, this phase afterwards is known as “crashing” and can generally be resolved with a few good hours of sleep.

Possible side effects of this drug/medicine

• faint greeny/yellow glow in the user’s eyes for the duration of the effect (unavoidable)
• breath that temporarily smells of green apple soda (unavoidable if the drug was administered through inhalation or ingestion, impossible otherwise)
• increased appetite (common)
• discharged bodily fluids smelling and tasting faintly of green apple soda (extremely rare, more common in synthetic beings)
• temporary insomnia (extremely rare, becomes apparent during the ‘crash’ phase)
• sensitivity to light (uncommon)

A user can easily keep themself going on Stym for a surprising time so long as they only re-dose when the previous dose is beginning to wear off, otherwise it can begin to put too much stress on the body and can lead to the following symptoms:

• possible heart failure
• possible respiratory issues
• possible paranoia
• possible liver failure
• possible temporary blindness in one or multiple eyes
• possible loss of consciousness
• possible death
• possible bleeding from nose/eyes/ears
