Silver Slab (Drug)

A drug/weapon from another plane of being that the x men's medic, Sarah, became addicted to after she was exposed to during the course of a mission

How the x men came into contact with it
In preparation for a mission to the Congo to 'rescue' his sister, Alpha gave Sarah what appeared to be a slab of silver with the impression of hand print in it telling her that it would help her keep the others healthy.

Effects and Adverse Effects

 * When someone who has had their life force depleted places their hand in the impression of a hand-print on the silver slab, their life-force is replenished.


 * When someone who has NOT had their life-force depleted places their hand in the impression of a hand-print on the silver slab, then the slab stimulates the pleasure center of the person's brain.


 * Use of the slab is highly addictive and tends to cause those who use to become extremely violent if steps are taken to try to separate them from the slab.

Impact on the x men

 * Sarah has a lingering addiction to the silver slab, which haunts her and will continue to haunt her for the rest of her life whether she likes it or not.

What the x men do not know about the object
What the x men take to be an aid for healer was actually designed as a weapon. The basic concept of is a simple one. One disperses the silver slabs amongst the enemy, the enemy stops fighting one's forces and instead start to fight each other over possession of the slabs. Those who become addicted to the slab spend their time stimulating their pleasure center or fighting over the slabs rather than care for themselves or others and eventually their societ colapses. Unfortunately for the designers of the weapon, their side also prove to be susceptible to the effects of the weapon and the entire population of the civilization was wiped out leaving the entire world covered in corpses with their hands still pressed firmly onto the silver slabs.
