Toxin Effuser

Overview

A Toxin Effuser was a type of implant used by the Manei Domini for direct battlefield application. Like the Pheromone Effuser it was a device implanted into the operative's nose or mouth and blown onto a target. Rather than dispensing a pleasing mixture of pheromones to weaken the target's mental defenses, the toxic effuser releases a toxic chemical agent upon the agent's exhalation to a range of three meters. A wide variety of airborne poisons could be used by the toxin effuser, however the most common was a concoction specially designed by the Manei Domini, known as the "Manei Mortis" or "Hands of Death," which could kill within seconds of inhalation. To prevent the agent from killing themselves with their own weapon those who received this implant underwent chemical treatments during their post-surgery recovery time to boost their own immunity, with most also taking a filtration implant for further protection. While able to deliver ten "doses" like the pheromone device, the toxin effuser did not use chemicals from the agent's body and so must be restored via direct injection, typically behind the jawbone or in the side of the neck. Agents of the rank Tau or higher could receive this implant, which came in either a ten-dose or twenty-dose options.
