>>>>>[It isn't bioware, but it isn't quite an aspirin either.  MicroGen has developed some rather nasty chemicals designed for any need.  Some of these are useful, some aren't.  Just be careful when dealing with all of them.  This isn't exactly child's play.  All the drugs take effect almost instantly; the viruses have an incubation period before they can take effect.  All chemicals are available in patch, liquid, and solid forms at the original cost.  Getting an aerosol version cost 10% extra.  And, they are all totally legal.]<<<<<

hcs140-134 chloride

        hcs140-134 chloride produces a temporary younger appearance in the user.  The skin tightens slightly, a rather uncomfortable experience for anyone with Orthoskin or Dermal Armor.  The epidermal capillaries dilate to produce a healthier coloration to the skin.  hcs140-134 chloride also causes increased production of pheromones.  But, hcs140-134 chloride cannot be combined with tailored pheromones.  If you set foot outside, you'll get scorched by an instant sun-burn no matter what time of day.  No one really knows why, but it does happen.

rDe 4,4,1-cyclo-Erimine

    rDe 4,4,1-cyclo-Erimine constricts blood flow within the body.  The immune system is also geared toward repairing damaged tissues and not toward fighting infection.  This increases the chances of wounds becoming infected.  Also, due to the lack of blood flow, limbs can become sluggish and they tire easily.  Prolonged users become susceptible to any number of immuno-disorders as well as free blood clots inside the blood stream.

Trimettumin

    Trimettumin increases the speed of neural connections by increasing the speed with which impulses travels down the neuron.  The most major side effect is a headache and fuzziness for a day after the drug wears off.  With increased usage, the user's mind becomes perpetually sluggish.  Long term usage can result in coma because the nervous system eventually becomes dependent on the drug to work.
