💥 For Yuseong
💥 - A witch has turned your OC into a militaristic vehicle. What vehicle would that be?
…………………………………………………
Huchu and Yuseong sneaked into a mysterious storage in the middle of nowhere. There were a raised of terrorism on the eastern part of nation C and C2ISTAR was hired to find out where did these terrorists get money to fund their activities. Angae’s sleeper reported that the group is self sustained through some form of business and Noeu found some traces of underground transactions on private water vessel in the high sea which Beagcha confirmed to be a common practice between illegal goods dealers.
Orenji had identified the location of congest activities through surveillance by air and Seoltang analyzed the photos. They found that there’s one particular isolated storage clearly under a camouflage attempts with interesting security measures and so the scientists duo are dispatched to identified the chemical compounds hidden in that storage.
Huchu and Yuseong are now inside, it’s full of cardboard boxes stacked upon each other. Huchu swiftly cut one of the boxes open to take a look, a bunch of brown glass bottles are arranged inside but what caught Huchu’s attention is their caps.
Huchu: “It’s cough syrups”
Yuseong: “But if this is what they sold, why be so secretive and suspicious?”
Huchu: “Probably because they are not selling these for medical use, to simplified; cough is a respond to an irritation in your throat where the brain tells muscles in your chest to push the air out of your lungs. This resulted from the stimulated nerves sending a message to your brain and cough syrup suppressed that function”
Yuseong: “Wait, so all allergy pills directly suppress your nerves system?”
Yuseong frowned at the horrifying implication toward the current allergy treatment and how many MDD patient have history of allergy pills usage due to some form of chronic allergy but then he beam other sunny smile.
Yuseong: “That’s so cool!”
Huchu doesn’t know what to make of Yuseong’s reaction.
Huchu: “Yeah…..we call them antihistamines. When mixed with the right NSAID in the right amount, you can creat a handmade drug that are a lot cheaper than heroin or amphetamine”
Huchu prays that this will not give Yuseong any weird ide-
Yuseong: “That gives me an idea”
Huchu sighed, now he has to ask Seoltang to kindly re-indoctrinate Yuseong again.
Huchu: “Yuseong, NO”
Yuseong: “But-But a food that prevented body from getting Ghrelin is really interesting, it could be use as a cure for some case of obesity and eating disorders! We can get a funds for this research by advertising to the executives that these are food that make soldiers unable to feel hungry no matter how little nutrition they have, it will sell well and all we need are antihistamine that bind to H-2 receptors-“
Before Yuseong could accidentally invent other market of people’s right violation. They hear a sound of shatter glass followed by a small thud, like someone had collapsed. They took a second to quickly check on each other before deciding the next move; should they move toward or away from the sound?
The scientists duo are way too curious to considered their options and just immediately go to checkout where the sound came from because SCIENCE.
They found one of the terrorists collapse on the ground alone next to one of the open box and a shattered cough syrup bottle, no blood, no injuries.
Despite the risk, Huchu reach out to check on this terrorist. Looking at the skin beneath his fur, it’s somewhat yellow. Indicating that his liver has difficulty functioning, the heart is okay and the breathing is normal. Huchu dig into the terrorist’s pocket to check if he has chronic illness or is taking any medication which he found a small package of Naproxen. This lead to Huchu checking the terrorist pupils which appear to be expanded, having a theory in his mind he lean in and smell the leftover substance in terrorist’s mouth to confirm his diagnosis.
Huchu: “It’s a case of overdose. Unlike Ibuprofen, Naproxen last longer in your blood so it is harder for your body to clean it off and so it is easier to get an overdose once diluted in cough syrup that are designed to be easily absorbed”
Huchu slowly inserted a tube through his patient’s throat, careful to not trigger a gag reflex. Through it, he feed terrorist some activated charcoal to absorb as much Naproxen and Dextromethorphan as possible.
Huchu reach into his pocket for Acetylcysteine, but he found that the bottle is empty. It appears he accidentally took a used bottle with him…either that or Angae wasn’t seeing correctly when he help Huchu pack the supplies.
Huchu: "He needs a liver transplant, I will let him borrow my liver for a bit. Let’s see if his body is compatible with mine"
Huchu unbutton his uniform, prepare to open his skin and dug a tube into his Portal vein and Hepatic artery but Yuseong stop him.
Yuseong: "No! You already trade your liver and kidneys off a couple of times this year not counting when you replace the broken blood-pumpimg machine with your heart! You can’t always resort to these kind of method!"
Yuseong shakingly squeeze Huchu's hand but then suddenly, Yuseong lighten up and he wags his tail somewhat excitingly. Huchu is clearly startled by the sudden shift of expression.
Yuseong: “You just need Acetylcysteine right? Can you tell me its chemical formula?”
Huchu: “…..C5H9NO3S…..?”
Yuseong: “Okay, so it’s Cyclopentyl radical, Nitrate and Sulfur”
Yuseong start to look around. He goes to the open box and took the foam piece that keeps the cough syrup bottles in place. These foam are called polystyrene foam. The blowing agent use for these foam is Pentane which has the chemical formula of C5H12, only a couple of Hydrogen atoms away from Cyclopentyl radical.
Yuseong then took terrorist’s gun on the floor then took a couple of bullet. Sulfur can be found in gunpowder, and lastly Nitrates can be extracted from Potassium nitrate which can also be found in the gunpowder.
Having all main ingredients, Yuseong start constructing his portable miniature chamber. He make this chamber a while back and he always carried it with him, it cannot breakdown every atomic bound at will like the life size one but removing 3 hydrogen atoms and extracting Nitrate from potassium nitrate is not beyond it capabilities.
Although atomic physics is not Huchu’s specialty, he does recognize the procedure to take a while and so injected Beta blocker into his patients to keep his heart BPM as low as it will allows him to live so that Naproxen and Dextromethorphan spread at slower rate.
After a while of breaking some atomic bounds as well as rearranging molecular structure, the liver detoxification chemical is done.
Huchu injected Acetylcysteine into his patients followed by Epinephrine to return his heart BPM to normal rate.
The overdosed person woke up, dazed at first but then jolt up trying to get away from Yuseong like a pilot spotting SAM.
Yuseong on the other hand is smiling brightly. This is the first time anyone he cannot recognize had a specific reaction to him. It gives Yuseong a lot of hope, so much so that his knees are on the floor. May be this overdosed person knows who he was, a first lead to finding his daughter.
Yuseong beam his sunniest smile to the stranger and quickly crawl to him while speaking excitingly.
Yuseong: “Greetings mister, my name is Yuseong! I suspected myself of having one daughter and that I committed arson with the intention of robbery, do tell me if you recognize my name or appearance-“
Ignoring Yuseong, Huchu slowly and carefully approach his patient.
Huchu: “Shhh… it’s okay, I’m here to help. I will not let anyone hurt you…”
The overdosed stranger pointed at Yuseong and yell that a Mobile CBRN laboratory is chasing him.
This prompted Huchu to forcefully grab the overdosed terrorist by his collar and shone some light into his corneas.
Huchu: “Ah, He’s still high. Probably hallucinating but at least he would probably survive now if we leave him alone”
However, Huchu didn’t let go of the guy’s collar.
Huchu: “Right..?”
He look deep into his patient’s eyes….who doesn’t exactly seeing correctly and is slowly slipping away from Huchu’s hand because he’s still high-
Huchu: “You think you can get away and go ingest unhealthy stuff again?? NOT A CHANCE, you are my patient now you hear me?! I didn’t spend-….Yuseong, how long does it take us to treat this guy?”
Yuseong: “……about 2 hours?”
Huchu: “2 HOURS of sweat and effort so I can let you out to die in the outside world like the other soldiers I’ve treated!!”
The terrorist attempted to get away from Huchu who legit is just trying to kidnap the man at this point, but Huchu gripped strength is too strong, and the guy got slap in the face by Huchu.
Huchu: “SToP ResISTINg mEDicAL HeLP”
Guess the ‘I won’t let anyone hurt you’ part didn’t include Huchu himself-
Huchu carried the terrorist over his shoulder.
Huchu: “You will never lay eyes on cough syrup or NSAID ever again! You will live with ALT of 34 U/L, AST of 32 U/L, ALP of 92 U/L, Albumin of 4 g/dL, total protein of 8 g/dL, Bilirubin of 1.0 milligram, GGT of 30 U/L, LD of 175 U/L and PT of 10 seconds until you are 65 at minimum!“
Yuseong pick the rifle on the floor up then approach Huchu.
Yuseong: “Hu, I know you are concerned but wouldn’t it cause problems if they realized that one of them went missing”
Yuseong spoke with nurturing empathy.
Yuseong: “Also if his liver actually manages to reach these values then I think his liver will become a world record statistical anomaly”
Just when they are about to leave, a couple of footsteps can be heard. A big group of terrorists surrounded the duo with guns.
But then the terrorists hold their gun up. They stare at Huchu and Yuseong and oddly that's all they do, no one shoot or charge at neither of them which really confused the scientists duo.
Yuseong: “Wait could it be…”
Yuseong’s light up into the sunniest smile.
Yuseong: “…because we save their comrade..?”
Suddenly their earpiece buzzed and Angae speak through it.
Angae: “Huchu, Yuseong, what’s going on? I got the report from my sleeper about the situation but how did things lead to that?”
Huchu: "It appears they refused to do harm to us because we save one of their friends"
Although he knows that Angae cannot see him, Yuseong still do a little nod while smiling.
Angae went quiet for a second.
Angae: “That doesn’t quite alight with what I received, my agent said there’s a hostage situation in the storage”
Yuseong, Huchu and the overdosed terrorist look at each other then at the other terrorists who surrounded them.
Huchu: “…..Who’s the hostage..?”
Angae: “The leader of this terrorist group?”
Huchu and Yuseong look at the overdosed terrorist who is still a little high.
Angae: “Wait a minute….You two didn’t-“
Huchu furiously stole the rifle from Yuseong and smacked the terrorist leader head with the handle.
Huchu: “YOu SOld tHis ShiT So YoU KnOw iT’s bAD bUt YOu STiLl InGEsT It-”

I considered going with YuSAM joke at first but my conscious say no.
Thank you for your patience in the TFC circuit and thank you for tuning into my frequency. 32G1, RWY CLR. 🛫✨
