Q-Injector

* Type 0.5
* Type 1.0
* Type 2.0
* Type 5.0

The Q-Injector was a scientific marvel developed by Dr. H Owens. First used by PGCI and Quinx, the injector was a small syringe with a small chemical formula inside. It is usually injected anywhere on the body, but the thigh is standard. The formula acts quickly and removes any Q-bullets, before amplifying the persons RC cells by a certain multiple.

Each investigator keeps a maximum of two vials, but more are issued for bigger, long lasting operations. The higher the rank, the better the type is for those investigators.

## History

During some oppression operations against several ghoul racist organisations, PGCI noticed that their ghoul forces were struggling against the Q-Bullets. Dr. H Owens, a renowned pharmacist and doctor, developed the Q-Injector. With the ability to negate Q-Bullet effects as well as amplify RC cells, the injector surged into popularity among ghouls and half-ghouls. Originally meant for the PGCI, the CCG bought out a stake of the production for their own Quinx Squad.

Later on around 2012, the ghoul terrorist organisation Slyden Prizen gained some injectors too and used them against the CDF during the Slyden Oppression Operation. To this day, more developed versions with greater effects are still in major production.

## Effects & Usage

The Q-Injector is used for destroying Q-Bullet effects and multiplying and armouring RC Cells.

On older models, an open needle is included, but on later renditions it is hidden for security and for safety. It is normally injected in the thigh, as this is more fleshy and hurts less. Despite this, injection sites are varied around the body and can really be injected anywhere.
Once the skin is pierced, the user pushed down the tab at the top after removing a safety cap. This released the formula which enters the blood stream and starts work immediately. It begins by destroying any Q-Bullet effects, to which they disintegrate. Rather the person has been affected or not, the user will gain an intense relaxation of the muscles and mind. This helps with nerves and since the feeling readies muscles, helps with defence as well.
Once this stage is complete, the formula heads to the kakahou, where it then attaches onto the RC Cells within and begins to clone them. With this boost in cells, the user's kagune, strength, defence and overall fighting ability/durability improves immensely. Depending on the model, the amplification is better as they go on, varying with a difference if 5.
This extreme improvement of the cells makes the currently active kagune start pulsing with veins. The colour of these veins depend on the user.

These effects last up to a max of five hours, depending on the model. After the formula dissipates, the next day the user will likely experience a bad hang over. Later models improve this effect.

## Models

### Type 0.5

Originally developed as an experimental prototype, Type 0.5 was only used on test subjects. As this model was like a beta to the others, it only amplified the RC cells by x2, gave a bad hang over and ran out within fifteen minutes. Discontinued from use, the model is unavailable from anywhere except secondhand sellers and pawn shops.

### Type 1.0

The first model released for the PGCI, Type 1.0 was worked on to be immensely better then it's past versions. With improved hang over reduction, Type 1.0 boasts an amplification of x5 and a boosted lasting time of ninety minutes. Extremely better then it previous rendition, Type 1.0 is still the standard injector for PGCI low ranks. It features a cyan safety cap and a small print on the clear side reading, "*Q-Injector 1.0*".

### Type 2.0

Released around 2011, Type 2.0 was a slightly more improved version of Type 1.0. The design was completely overhauled to where the syringe is hidden from view. This was because of accidental piercing from the needle or the injector being to obvious for secret missions. It features a purple tab for pushing. The upgrade include: an improved amplification of x10, better hang over reduction, and a lasting time of two hours. Because of the high powers of the syringe, this type is only commissioned for investigators of Senior Rank and up. This stage was bought for the Quinx squad too.

### Type 5.0

The newest edition, this type was a big boost in overall strength. Due to such improvement, this type is only offered out to investigators of Special Class and up. The 5.0 keeps the same look as the 2.0, but chunkier and with a black tab. The whole syringe holds more formula, giving a boost of RC Cells by x20, a completely erased hangover and a time lasting for over 5 hours.

## Trivia

* The two latest types: Type 2.0 and 5.0's design was based on an Epipen.
* Leni has mentioned that over two doses on a normal ghoul can give them an overdose, usually with a fatal outcome.
* Apparently, some ghouls abuse them for great pleasure and relaxation.
