Origin: S.C. Johnson

Summary

An experimental insecticide gas developed by S.C. Johnson — a blend of their formulas B and A — used to exterminate the alien insects of the Las Vegas hive.

Description

Concoction BA is a gaseous insecticide combining S.C. Johnson formulas B and A. It carries roughly a 75% chance of immediately killing an alien insect on exposure. (Formula B alone is more lethal over time: ~95% kill, but spread across 4 rounds rather than immediate.)

The gas is CORROSIVE to power suits after prolonged exposure: roughly a 2-hour safe operating window before armor begins to corrode, with full armor failure about an hour after corrosion begins.

Game Stats

• ~75% chance of immediately killing a Terran Insectoid on exposure.
• Formula B alone: ~95% kill, over 4 rounds (not immediate).
• Corrosive to power suits: ~2-hour safe window before corrosion onset; full armor failure ~1 hour after onset.

History

Used in [Session 07 - The Vegas Hive - Napalm and New Powers](…/chapters/Chapter 1 - The Hungry God/Sessions/session-07-the-vegas-hive-napalm-and-new-powers.html) to gas the 30 desert tunnel entrances and the Queen’s chamber of the Las Vegas hive.

Relationships

• Created by S.C. Johnson Scientists.
• Used against the Terran Insectoid colony.
• Hazard to the Voss Combat Suit (corrosive over time).
