Flood appears as a small, quick-inject dermal applicator. The applicator's color is a very bright yellow, and this makes it very hard to mistake the applicator for something else.
Flood is a "last ditch" drug. It's effects on the body are phenomenal, and the crash that results from the drug typically kills the user. It is tailored to affect the body on all levels, creating a superbeing for a very short time. It alters neural functioning, hormonal levels, and virtually every other bodily system. This alteration typically leaves the user's bodily systems non-viable after alteration. Some long lasting damage is virtually guaranteed.
Upon injection, Flood doubles natural body, quickness, strength, and reaction for 2d6+3 rounds. During this time, the user literally goes into a berserk killing rage. The user will attempt to kill anything within their field of view, and only a willpower(10) test each round will permit diversion in any other way. The user of Flood also suffers no modifiers from damage taken. The user is a killing machine, soon to expire.
When Flood wears off, assess deadly damage instantly. This cannot be reduced in any way, and the user of Flood suffers all the related effects resulting from deadly damage. Cyberware may be damaged, magic lost, etc. Also, the target number to resist permanent, long lasting damage (which results from a deadly wound taken without any staging-down) is doubled, as is any magic-loss target number. The chance of attribute loss, magic loss, cyberware damage, etc., is quite high.
Regardless of the damage outcome, the character is laid-up for 1d6 weeks and requires intensive care. This is in addition to any normal healing time.

[Pay careful attention to the
part about "last-ditch drug." I'd rather go out with a bang this
way, if I know for sure that there's no way I'm walking away from the conflict.]
Rhino
[For the big folks out
there, you may just come back. Of course, you're bound to suffer permanent
damage, but those sorts of things can be "fixed" these days (or
at least replaced). Yeah, this isn't the way to fly on your average trip,
but we work the shadows, after all. There are no guarantees.]
Rooster
[The only guarantee is
death, omae. That's how I see it.]
