As a crustpunk alcoholic, Jude likes to turn his discarded bottles upside down and let what's left drip into the caps before consolidating it all into one flask that's had "The Dregs" etched into it. Grime has collected on the outer shell and within the many scratches it's gotten over the years- it isn't high quality plastic, after all, but it's good enough. The flavor is like Everclear that hates you even more than usual, with some sort of moldy aftertaste. Something about the consistency refuses to let you cough it back up, but the regret probably won't last long anyway; Jude was true to his word, and you feel great.
Use up this A sticky, dark green plastic flask with "The Dregs" scratched into it (unless you succeed on 1d10, Difficulty 7) and spend an Action.
You may move easily and without a roll in any of the following situations. Lasts 2 hours.

Winter takes out her phone, and plays some calming meditation music. While smoking from the vape pen, the mind is eased at damage to the body starts to mend itself. The body mellows out, and the target feels a cool breeze run through their form. This coolness gradually turns to warmth as the wounds vanish.
Spend 1 minute and use up this vape pen. Select a Living target within arm's reach. Roll 7 dice at Difficulty 6, dice penalties do not apply.
If you succeed, the Injury is reduced in Severity by your Outcome, unless it had Severity 4 or higher, in which case its Severity remains the same. If you reduce its Severity to 0, the Injury is fully healed. Otherwise, it is partially healed and will heal the rest of the way at its natural rate.
This counts as a successful Makeshift Stabilization if the Injury was not already Stabilized; any Battle Scars caused by the Injury will remain.
Pot of Gold whisky comes in a tarnished flask with faintly glowing Celtic patterns. The golden liquid swirls mysteriously, and when consumed, grants a surge of grit and warmth. But an eerie, metallic aftertaste hints at its alien origin.
Use up this Gold of Top Whisky (unless you succeed on 1d10, Difficulty 7) and spend an Action.
Your Stress from Injuries and Mind Damage is reduced to 0. Lasts three hours.
the user pulls out a blank id card. It would contain an image of something that would cause the instinctual reaction in the target that the target immediately reacts to. this can only cause instinctual reactions that exist in or are influenced by the ID.
Spend an Action and use up this id card (unless you succeed on 1d10, Difficulty 7). Select a Living target within 45 feet as well as a specific emotion. Roll 7 dice Difficulty 6, dice penalties do not apply. Affected targets can resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 6 -3 dice.
If you succeed, for the next minute, your target will do things they otherwise wouldn’t have done, inspired by the chosen emotion. They will not necessarily display their emotions in an obvious way.
Actions they take will be in keeping with their character and the way they tend to deal with strong emotions. They will be unlikely to change their mind about any actions taken or decisions made until after the Effect ends.
While this Effect is active, you are at -2 dice to all Actions and cannot Concentrate.
You shoot a tranquilizer arrow. Pretty self explanatory.
Spend an Action and use up this Arrow. Make a Archery Attack at a Living target within normal Attack range. The target may roll to dodge or Defend, as normal for Archery Attacks. The Attack itself does not deal any Damage beyond the Effect.
If you succeed, your target becomes drowsy for the next 30 seconds, during which time they suffer an additional -2 dice Penalty to all Actions. At the end of their drowsiness, they fall asleep for Contested Outcome x 3 minutes.
Sleeping targets will not prematurely wake up on their own, but may still be woken up by sudden loud noises, being jarred or splashed with water, taking Damage, or similar rousing events. They will also awaken before dying of hunger, thirst, or suffocation. Drowsy targets always fall asleep, regardless of what happens while they are drowsy.
The hacker is capable of crafting bottles of nanites. When poured on a broken object, the nanites go to work restoring it to a functioning state. The goop shimmers and crawls, sparking with blue electricity as it reforms broken parts.
Spend 10 Rounds and use up this a bottle of metallic fluid. Select a Object within arm's reach that is no larger than an SUV. Cannot be used on Alien technology. More than half the target object must be present in order to begin repairs. Roll 7 dice Difficulty 6, dice penalties do not apply.
If you succeed, your target is repaired back to a functional state. If you fail, you spend the full time working before realizing you cannot repair the target.
After consuming the tainted food or drink, the target transforms into a llama!

The trap looks like food or drink. Only those who have seen this trap before can identify it as a trap. Anyone who is aware of the trap may intuitively avoid, trigger, or destroy it.
Any Living target within within arm's reach that uses the trap as food or drink will trigger it. The target may roll Body, -2 dice at Difficulty 7, as a Free Action to resist.
If you succeed, the target receives two new Battle Scars of your choosing, limited by the contested Outcome:
If you inflict two Extreme (Outcome > 3) Battle Scars on the target, you may transform them fully into another species.
You may cure any Battle Scars you have created with this Effect with a Free Action on your initiative. They are healed over the course of the next hour.
All alterations you make must turn the target into a llama.
The Battle Scars you inflict manifest over the course of the next minute.
The mutant now occasionally lays large, orange-speckled eggs. These Eggs do not hatch nor spoil. If cracked and applied to a chronic injury such as a missing limb, the scar heals completely within the hour. However, any area healed by the egg will forever carry an inhuman appearance as testament to the bizarre method of treatment.
Spend a minute and use up this unusually large egg (unless you succeed on 1d10, Difficulty 7). Select a Living target within arm's reach. Select a Battle Scar on your target to treat.
The treated Battle Scar heals as you finish activating this Effect. If used on a Battle Scar caused by an Unstabilized Injury, that Injury is Stabilized.
Healing a Battle Scar in this way leaves behind an inhuman attribute such as fur, scales, or feathers on the target which cannot be healed.
The mad scientist produces thorium cores that can be used to upgrade tools and other devices. The core supercharges the item, increasing its quality and rendering it indestructible for a period. However, once the core runs dry, the object is rendered less useful than it was before. The core crackles with blue electricity while active.
Spend 1 Action and use up this glowing blue disk. Select a non-Alien Device within arm's reach. Cannot be used to improve Armor.
Lasts the next two hours. Your target receives 2 extra dice to all actions taken for its intended use. Attacking with an upgraded weapon grants +2 Weapon Damage instead of additional dice. While it is upgraded, the item cannot be destroyed.
After the Effect ends, any upgraded targets suffer a -2 dice penalty until they are either repaired or upgraded again.
The Future Soldier learned to create foam grenades in their own time period, and they still can, kinda. They look like glowing orange capsules with a rugged rubberized grip. When thrown, they burst into a splash of expanding neon orange foam. The foam hardens in seconds, severely hampering the movement of anyone unlucky enough to have been splashed. Those affected may use their hands or weapons to hack away at the foam and free themselves.
Occasionally, the fuses on these bootleg grenades fails, and they go off immediately.
Spend an Action and use up this small metallic grenade with pin (unless you succeed on 1d10, Difficulty 7). Make a thrown Attack at a Location within normal Attack range. Roll a single D10 as a critical failure check. If you roll a 1, the Effect fails, and you are hit as it activates immediately at your present location. The target may roll to dodge or Defend, as normal for thrown Attacks. The Attack itself does not deal any Damage beyond the Effect.
If you succeed, all affected targets will be restricted at their location by a physical, tangible binding. They can still move their arms and use Effects, but are reduced to ¼ of their movement speed.
The binding around a target must be destroyed in order for them to break free. Breaking the binding requires a total amount of Damage equal to twice the original Contested Outcome. Damage from multiple attacks is cumulative and stacks linearly.
