The brain child of Group 6's team leader Nadja ( Vesper ) Gadot, her concept arise during the Initiatives first encounters with the SEB. Desiring a first strike non-lethal ambush weapon that would render a group of SEB personnel unconscious to allow rapid facilitation of disguises for her whole team, Gadot developed the Morpheus gas. Using her knowledge of chemistry, Gadot was able to combine two of the most effective anaesthetics in history, creating a super knockout gas. Using Operation Eagle Fall as a test run Gadot was able to demonstrate her proof of concept, following the success of Eagle Fall, Morpheus Gas was rolled out across all SI branches.
The gas effectively tricks the brain into inducing deep REM sleep, also wiping the subjects short term memory. The subjects wake up with the sensation of having a strange dream, one they cannot remember, along with an intense headache. The gas is currently in its MK2 phase, which allow for increased duration of subject unconsciousness, and the SI are considering selling the gas to worldwide law enforcement to assist in riot suppression operations. Operative Gadot is currently researching means to eliminate the intense headaches suffered by subjects.
( The following is a note from SI medical. All operatives be advised to affix gas masks before deployment, to prevent a repeat of the Honduras incident. In which Junior Operator Firefly, forget hers. Leading to the mission being aborted.)

Re: Shadow Initiative Operatives Handbook Pg 44 " Morpheus Gas"
I like that it is a "super knock out gas". It does seem highly effective. As you note here it will knock out the target for up to 12 hours. And we have seen that it manages to knock out the target very quickly.
Good to see Vesper is working on a way to reduce the headaches. I have to say I feel bad for the poor sentry girl waking up from her long sleep not only having no memory of what happened to her but having a serious headache.

Me too, I like to think since a couple of their best friends are former Darkwatch sentries, they began to feel a little sympathy for them.meditions142 wrote: Wed Mar 15, 2023 11:12 am I like that it is a "super knock out gas".

I was looking back at some of your Handbook entries and it really occurs to how much I like that you describe what the difference devices do to the women they are used on. For example here you describe how the "gas effectively tricks the brain into inducing deep REM sleep".
It is a fun part of your stories to get a picture of what is happening to the women. Here we learn that the Morpheus Gas shuts down the woman's brain so that she is put into a very deep state of unconsciousness. And of course we learn that the gas it so powerful that the poor woman will not regain consciousness for 12 hours.
Like I say, the background your descriptions add really make the stories even more fun!

Thank you very much, Meditions. I really appreciate your comments.

Although the shock glove is still my number one favourite SI gadget, I have always had a soft spot for Nadja's creation. The Morpheus Gas being arguably the most effective weapons in the SI's arsenal, to render groups of women unconscious allowing for swift group Infiltration. I'am glad that these background descriptions have made the stories, that more popular and fun to boot. Whether you are new to the SI or a returning fan.
I'am glad that you continue to enjoy my stories, my friend and I really appreciate your continued support.
