BZ gas is a potent hallucinogenic that also put slimes into stasis, degenerates changeling chemicals and suppresses their hivemind. As a side effect, affected people will take low brain damage, but breathing it 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 0.1 atmosphere, or about 10 kPa. Efficiency might be higher if you get it even lower somehow, though.

If mixed in a tank with oxygen, it can be used for internals, to [[Chaplain|encourage spiritual development]]. Breathing it also produces [[Guide_to_chemistry#BZ_Metabolites|BZ Metabolites]].
