GigaStims

A GigaStim is a single-use injector containing a cocktail of genetic material, nanotechnology and hormones. Available in four 'flavours', GigaStims improve the physique, tone, intelligence or intuition of the administered recipient, depending on their flavour.

Use

A player can use one GigaStim every six hours. More frequent use is possible, but is highly likely to cause severe vomiting, bleeding from the mouth and eyes, loss of hearing , and radiation sickness. Each use of a GigaStim increases a player's Core Ability score by one (1). The ability increased relates to the flavour of the GigaStim.

Whale-Smoked Steak - Increases Body score.

Purple Grape - Increases Poise score.

Vodkola - Increases Smarts score.

Natto - Increases Wits score.

Costs

GigaStims vary in cost depending on location and circumstance, but are never cheap. Produced by Global Corp, GigaStims come with a guarantee of quality backed by the stock price of Global Corp itself, and it is this, along with their desirability, that results in the considerable price of GigaStims.

Sideaffects

The use of GigaStims causes a roughly half-hour period of severe discoordination and often, nausea, in most users. Nosebleeds and unsteady vision often occur for several hours following administering a GigaStim. In the longer term, no negative side-affects have been reported. Suggestions by the New Cola Company that GigaStims cause gastric cancer have been hotly denied.
