>>>>>[Hi, I just happen to be a member of the kip posse from Amsterdam
and I'm new to this net and just wanted to inform you on a small discovery
our quit nerdy decker Barabas did a few days ago. While working in his
lab he discovered a new poison that we use in our narcoject's. We are now
making it avaibable for the market. The stuff is called "Purple Death"
after it's nice colour. To get into detail, it actually is a quite lethal
poison. It's only drawback is that it is quite slow to kill. (Actually this
might be considered a plus because this makes it quite painful.) It's
avaibable through mail order from the kip posse for 75 nuyen a dose+p&p.
If you order within a week you also get a "I love Purple Death" button
for free (Retail price: 4.99 nuyen). ]<<<<<

{Game notes: Purple Death or a similar poison is quite easy to make. It
requires quite common materials worth 250 nuyen and a succes on a
Chemistry (8) test. This will produce a number of doses equal to
Intelligence. The effect of Purple Death is as follows. The victim
must take a body test every day for a period of a week against a target
number of 6. Each failure lets the victim lose a point of Strength and
Body. if one of the two reaches zero, the victim dies. Antidote can be
made in the same way, thought the target number drops to 6 and a dose of
Purple Death is required. Side effects of the poison are: Fever, Severe
pain, and disabilaty to keep any food inside your stomach for longer then
3 seconds.}
