Name: Phobos Gas, Scarecrow Gas, etc. Description: Phobos Gas is a hazy gray gas with usually streaks of forlorn pale blue-green and blue that floats thinly in the air. When one is near it they would begin to feel an irrational anxiety similar to fear, and when close enough to come in contact with the majority of the gas, will begin to feel an intense fear or dread as a result of the pheromones floating with the gas, similar to Reaper pheromones or sometimes even harvested from the Reapers (or Orbides) themselves. Nightmarish hallucinations may result from the pheromones interaction and will often cause the victim to perceive their attacker as highly threatening and menacing. Also sometimes placed in the gas are nanomachines meant to affect Glitch and other engineered lifeforms with the same effects by generating a weak field that holds the same effects, and sometimes nanomachines that can move the gas similar to Black Blight. Abilities: Causes anxiety at a thinner concentration around the gas cloud and causes intense fear, dread and nightmarish hallucinations when in the cloud. Can affect Glitch and can be made to move like Black Blight does. Can also exist in liquid form if its really needed. Limitations: EMPs can disable any nanomachines that might be present. Filtered by most protective suits and masks. Does not affect androids in which fear is not programmed or animals that cannot experience fear. How does it work: Phobos Gas is a floating filler gas the contains fear-inducing pheromones similarly found in Orbide and Reaper species, the pheromones inhaled or entering through the suspect's skin and causing soon emotional changes of dread or irrational fear that would either hamper their ability to defend themselves or cause them to flee entirely. Nanomachines may also sometimes be placed in the gas mixture so as to affect Glitch and other engineered beings by using nanomachines that generate weak passive fields that affect processors with the similar affects. Phobos Gas is found naturally most often in Erebus in the form of creatures or plants that naturally generate it and are immune to its effects, naturally floating in the air, or used as a weapon for those who can control it. Flavor text: Phobos Gas is a mostly natural gas produced by creatures or plants, though can be synthetically produced through other means (i.e. Shin'kali biomass, genetic engineering, etc.) Some may utilize it in their manipulative machinations and finds use in many different ways by Glitch mages, natural creatures and plants, mysterious weather patterns, and more.
