Heating this in the presence of a large amount of oxygen will cause the formation of tritium, an even more flammable gas that burns hotter, brighter and far deadlier than plasma. | Heating this in the presence of a large amount of oxygen will cause the formation of tritium, an even more flammable gas that burns hotter, brighter and far deadlier than plasma. | ||

As a side effect, affected people will take low brain damage, but breathing more than 1u of the gas long enough will cause brain death. An extremely insidious gas that is much harder to detect than N20 or Plasma, or at least until the hallucinations start. | ||
BZ is formed when N2O and Plasma are combined at low pressures. The optimal pressure for this is 0.5 atmosphere, or about 50 kPa. Efficiency might be higher if you get it even lower somehow, though. | BZ is formed when N2O and Plasma are combined at low pressures.

Nitryl (formerly Brown Gas) speeds you up - pretty good until the acid eats your lungs. Generally produced only as a precursor to stimulum, or when somebody's pet star gets loose and starts turning the station into its burning core. | Nitryl (formerly Brown Gas) speeds you up - pretty good until the acid eats your lungs.
