- Perception Enhancement
The First Order Security Bureau should always be superior. In anything. Through this dogma and belief, the FOSB has sanctioned the production of a perception enhancing pill. As the name clearly clarifies, the so-called A.P.D vastly increases the perception of the user. Its initial goal was to help immensely the interrogation branch of the FOSB by turning interrogators into walking lie detectors. Obviously, an untrained person would simply just be more aware of various things but a trained intelligence agent would have his abilities quite greatly improved.
After a couple of tests, the FOSB researchers came to the conclusion that the A.P.D could very well be used in literally any other scenarios not only limited to interrogation. Field agents were first to report the increased positive results of taking the pill, efficiency rates of their missions clearly increased. Afterwards, desk agents e.g cryptolinguists and etc also showed greater success rates in their jobs. Eventually, the FOSB issued the A.P.D to be mass produced so the whole Bureau's capabilities may be increased considerably.
Strengths:
- Perception Increase: The user becomes much more perceptive than usual granting him an advantage in whatever he is currently doing. Be it field work or desk work.
- Time of effect: Due to its concentration, the time of its effect is quite short.
- Overdose risk: Twice in 24 hours only. Three leads to short term schizophrenia and runs high the risk of blacking out for hours or even days. Four and more is complete blackout, chance of entering coma is very high.
