Vespid Dynamics Paralytic Aerosol Grenade PAG-2 'Sleepy Time'

A throwable aerosol grenade that disperses Vespid's proprietary fast-acting paralytic compound over a 10-meter radius. The compound targets voluntary motor function while leaving autonomic systems intact — targets remain conscious and breathing but cannot move, speak, or resist for approximately fifteen minutes. The effect onset is 3-5 seconds after inhalation, making the window for donning respiratory protection extremely narrow. Vespid markets it as a humane incapacitation tool, though the psychological effect of being fully conscious but completely paralyzed has been documented as severely traumatic.

countermeasure: Respiratory filtration prevents inhalation; no post-exposure antidote

story hooks

PAG-2 grenades have been deployed in a series of robberies targeting augmented individuals — victims are paralyzed while their cyberware is surgically removed.
A contaminated batch of PAG-2 grenades has hit the market where the autonomic preservation fails in approximately 5% of exposures — meaning some victims stop breathing.

image prompt

Product photography of a clinical-white spheroid paralytic grenade, PAG-2 'Sleepy Time', sitting on a matte black surface with dramatic side-lighting revealing translucent frosted panels and internal swirling compound. Gloved hand (tactical latex, gunmetal gray) holding the grenade from the side, chrome safety pin loop catching rim-light. Soft mint-green accent stripes visible. Vespid Dynamics logo subtle but clear. High-end pharmaceutical aesthetic meets neo-noir weapon. Dark background with cool blue accent lighting. Shallow depth of field. Clean, sterile, slightly unsettling presentation. --ar 3:2 --v 6

physical description

visual profile	A compact spheroid grenade with a distinctly medical aesthetic — sleek and almost clinical in appearance, suggesting pharmaceutical precision rather than violence. The form is rounded and slightly asymmetrical, with a pronounced safety pin loop at the apex that catches light like a chrome accent.
dimensions	8.5 cm diameter, 9.2 cm height including safety pin loop. Compact enough to fit in a closed fist.
weight description	Surprisingly light and well-balanced — sits comfortably in the palm without feeling insubstantial. The mass distribution creates an almost casual feel, belying its incapacitating function.
primary material	Aerospace-grade polycarbonate shell with internal aluminum dispersal chamber. Surface has a subtle frosted quality suggesting high-tech medical devices.
finish	Matte clinical white with translucent frosted panels revealing faint internal mechanisms. Minimal weathering even on field-used units — designed for sterile appearance.
color scheme	Primary: clinical white with soft dove gray accents. Safety pin: brushed stainless steel. Subtle mint-green accent stripe near base with Vespid's molecular logo.
grip texture	Smooth polycarbonate with subtle grip ridges at equator. Feels almost like holding a high-end cosmetic container rather than a weapon.
distinctive features	Transparent frosted windows on opposite sides revealing swirling liquid/aerosol matrix inside Stainless steel pressure-release valve at base with microetch pressure gauge Minimalist Vespid Dynamics logo — a stylized wasp silhouette in mint green Four small venting ports arranged symmetrically around upper hemisphere Safety pin with grooved grip and attached pull ring showing wear from field handling Faint serial number laser-etched on base plate No visible weathering or corrosion — suggests regular maintenance or short operational lifespan
manufacturer markings	Vespid Dynamics logo centered at base. "PAG-2 'SLEEPY TIME'" printed in clean sans-serif on polar region. "USE AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY" in micro-text on safety collar. Tier-3 licensing mark (small circular stamp) near base.
condition typical	Pristine to lightly maintained. Field units show only minor surface scuffs and worn safety pin edges. Never appears truly battle-scarred — designed for clean deployment and quick effect rather than durability through punishment.
