A-041 Snake Oil

CACG Item File
Item A-041 is an anomalous compound with various unidentifiable synthetic and organic constituents. A-041 is clear orange in color, sold in yellow tinted bottles shaped to look like snakes. As discerned by the labels, the bottles are marketed under the brand "Mateo's Miracle Market." Investigations have been made into the branding on the bottles, but so far there has not been enough evidence to designate a new GoI. The Group's current supply of A-041 was recovered in a collection of crates being shipped to an undisclosed location via AV.

A-041's anomalous effects present themselves once consumed by a living being. Upon consumption, it will cure a single non-chronic condition at random. In all tests, A-041 has never healed more than one condition, and has never been successfully controlled. As of writing, there is no known way to isolate its effects to any single issue.

As of writing, the Group has approximately ████ full bottles of A-041 contained at the Vitae Biochem Wing of Geo-7, with Administration only approving its use in a medical setting in the most dire situations. While A-041 has remained impossible to reproduce, it has been found that it can be diluted to a completely different medical compound using Compound XM-04 and [REDACTED]. This diluted liquid requires only a small portion of A-041 per 4 liters. In effect, the diluted liquid is radically different from A-041 in that it induces a strong healing factor in the host for a short duration, instead of healing a single injury. This liquid will also temporarily bolster platelet counts in the host, stopping all bleeding within a two minutes of consumption.

Notably, A-041 has been used in an experimental combination with Item A-063 ("Warper's Syndrome") in a bid to make its effects more survivable for hosts while retaining the reality bending abilities it bestows. This new viral compound is now catalogued as Item A-066 ("Ouroboros Serum"). This effort was spearheaded by Toxicology Specialist and Roundtable Council member Reptile.
