Neurochemical Dispersal Grenade

The NDG-2 is a non-lethal area-denial grenade that disperses a proprietary aerosolized neurochemical agent developed by LAZARUS PHARMACEUTICALS under contract for GLMZ's crowd management divisions. On detonation, a binary chemical initiator mixes two stable precursor compounds within the grenade body during a 1.2-second reaction phase, generating the active agent — a synthetic GABAergic compound designated LZR-7 — immediately before aerosol dispersal. This binary approach means the grenade can be stored indefinitely without degradation, solving a persistent shelf-life problem in legacy chemical ordnance.

LZR-7 acts on the central nervous system through inhalation and dermal absorption, inducing acute disorientation, short-term anterograde amnesia, and motor coordination failure within 8–15 seconds of exposure. Effects last 12–40 minutes depending on body mass and respiratory rate. The compound is theoretically non-lethal at standard doses, but LAZARUS PHARMACEUTICALS' internal trials — several of which were conducted without subject consent, according to leaked documents — showed a 3–7% fatality rate in subjects with compromised respiratory systems or certain genetic profiles. This data was suppressed.

specifications

weight: 280g
diameter: 58mm
active agent: LZR-7 synthetic GABAergic compound
reaction phase: 1.2 seconds post-activation
dispersal radius: 8m effective, 14m trace exposure

shelf life: Indefinite (binary precursor design)
antidote: LZR-Counteragent 3 (LAZARUS proprietary, restricted supply)

tactical use

Used for crowd dispersal, hostage extraction, and covert incapacitation. Security forces deploy NDG-2s into enclosed spaces — transit hubs, protest corridors, corporate lobbies — to incapacitate occupants without structural damage. In covert operations, a single NDG-2 through a ventilation intake can neutralize an entire floor before a team enters. Operators must wear sealed respiratory filtration; partial-filter masks provide insufficient protection. The amnesia effect makes the NDG-2 particularly valued in extraction operations where witnesses must not retain reliable memories.

cultural context

The NDG-2 is one of GLMZ's most politically charged weapons. LAZARUS PHARMACEUTICALS markets it as a humane crowd-control solution, and licensed security forces use that framing publicly. But the suppressed fatality data has circulated in activist networks for years, and the grenade's association with the city's most violent protest crackdowns has made it a symbol of corporate-state violence. In lower-tier communities, the phrase 'getting blanked' refers to any situation where someone is rendered helpless by institutional power. The antidote is controlled supply, held exclusively by LAZARUS — a fact that critics call deliberate leverage.

story hooks

A player wakes up with no memory of the last six hours. A spent NDG-2 casing is on the floor nearby. Something was taken — or done — during the blank.
The suppressed LAZARUS trial data surfaces in full, naming specific subjects and locations. Someone wants it buried again, and the journalist holding it is already missing.
The antidote supply for an NDG-2 mass deployment at a protest has been stolen before it could be administered to affected civilians. LAZARUS wants it recovered quietly — but the thief wants to expose why the antidote was needed at all.

physical description

visual profile	A compact spherical grenade with a subtle industrial aesthetic. The body appears smooth and purposeful, neither aggressive nor innocuous — designed to blend into the hands of authorized operators. A central activation mechanism sits recessed slightly into the upper hemisphere, surrounded by faint circular grip indentations. The overall impression is clinical, pharmaceutical rather than militaristic.
dimensions	58mm diameter sphere; activation plunger extends 12mm above surface when armed
weight description	Hefty for its size — 280g creates a solid, deliberate feel in the palm. Balanced weight distribution makes it sit naturally in a closed fist without rolling. Feels engineered rather than thrown.
primary material	Composite polymer shell with internal steel reaction chamber housing binary precursor compartments. Polymer exterior rated for pressure containment and thermal stress.
finish	Matte technical gray with subtle surface texture — not glossy, designed to minimize reflection and visual attention. Polymer has a faint industrial sheen where wear patterns show from handling.
color scheme	Matte gunmetal gray dominant; recessed activation zone features pale cyan accent ring (indicating binary compound status and LAZARUS branding). Small band of darker charcoal at equator marks precursor separation line.
grip texture	Textured polymer with microscopic grip nodes — feels slightly tacky, engineered to prevent accidental dropping even in wet conditions or with synthetic fiber gloves. Surface has subtle warmth from material composition.
distinctive features	Recessed activation plunger with subtle cyan illumination ring (passive — indicates armed status) Faint circular grip indentations across upper hemisphere Hairline separation groove at equatorial centerline (visual indicator of binary chamber division) Tiny pressure relief valve vent (barely visible, pinhead-sized) Serial microprint band beneath equatorial groove Slight iridescent quality to polymer under angled light (anti-counterfeit coating)
manufacturer markings	LAZARUS COMPOUND OPERATIONS logo — minimalist geometric Φ symbol integrated into cyan accent ring. Below equator: tiny embossed text 'NDG-2 \| LZR-7 \| RESTRICTED' in sans-serif font. Serial number printed in microtext on bottom pole.
condition typical	Field-deployed examples show wear on grip texture from gloved handling and faint discoloration from exposure to solvents and sweat. Activation rings occasionally show micro-scratches. Well-maintained examples are virtually pristine; heavily used units retain gray finish but lose tactile grip texture on high-contact areas.

Product photography of a neurochemical dispersal grenade, matte gunmetal gray sphere 58mm diameter, resting on black carbon composite surface. Top-down angle showing recessed activation plunger with pale cyan accent ring glowing subtly. Dramatic side-lighting casting sharp shadow, emphasizing smooth polymer texture and hairline equatorial separation groove. Latex-gloved hand entering frame from left, fingertip approaching activation zone. Clinical laboratory aesthetic, cool cyan and steel tones, slight depth-of-field blur on background. LAZARUS Φ symbol visible on upper hemisphere. Neo-noir corporate pharmaceutical styling, moody and controlled. Suggest precision engineering and synthetic chemistry. --ar 3:2 --v 6
