Commercial Nitro

A viscous synthetic blood substitute packaged in amber glass vials marked with blackened Belazs’ insignia tape. The liquid glistens darkly under the ice cliff’s pale light and emits a sharp metallic scent that provokes instinctive recoil in Ace and Mel. The vials leak viscous residue on contact, fouling gloves and boots during rough handling. Its corners show signs of crushing, indicating it has been passed between factions as a bargaining chip rather than handled with care.
