Moll Vents

Utility

Booby Trap

The vents are a security measure designed for military installations with the intention of perpetually hampering intruders as they move through specific facilities. It works by venting cocktails of designer proteins, nanites and vintage bacteria into an enclosed environment to induce random consequences from purely cosmetic to life-altering to fatal. Even should trespassers escape, they would still be identifiable by the mutations inflicted on them.   A significant drawback, however, is the sheer randomness that can be affected by moll on a victim. In addition to being potentially crippled, a person can also be significantly boosted (provided they don't mind any deformities) and become a greater threat to station guards.
To say nothing of being transformed into a mindless monster and a danger to everyone.
