Phase 2: Experimentation (Part 1)
This is the documentation of the first round of testing of the substances.
Premise:
For the purpose of the testing, fourty subjects were selected, and told that they would be testing out anti-anxiety medication. The method of intake was in the form of small, concentrated drops the subjects would introduce into a five liter water container they got to take home. When the container emptied, they received instructions on how to clean and refill it, and administer the drops themselves. The isolated container is crucial to mimic the circumstances of a controlled, self-contained water supply. The subjects were instructed to go on with their usual water intake. Twenty of the subjects were given out actual active ingredients, and the other twenty a placebo, none knowing which is which. The twenty given active ingredients were divided by groups of four, each given a different version of the formula as described above. The subjects were mostly humans, with a few aliens in their number. The subjects were told to log their symptoms and temperament during the course of a month, after which a short behavioral evaluation was conducted.
Outcome:
During the course of a month, of those having taken the placebo no significant changes in behaviour were observed. When it comes to the formulas and the intended behavioral changes, the first one seems to be the most promising, with the third coming up as second. The second formula seems to be too strong, having caused a subject to die. It is to be noted that the subject suffered from prior heart problems. The fourth was already in diluted form and, diluting it even more, the results were negligible. From within the subjects testing the third formula, one also died of an unexpected allergic reaction. Such a reaction is however exceedingly rare.
Notes:
Sith Satjaza was gracious enough to offer her input in regard to the experiment. The premise, first of all, is flawed, having left the dosage and preparation of the solution to the subjects. This will be corrected in the second round of testing, where the solution will be prepared by hand and given to the subjects. Second of all, the placebo group should have been let known of the intended effects of the "formula" given to them. Thirdly, a larger variety of species should be included among the testing groups, so the formula's effects on a mixed population can be observed. For the next part of the testing, focus will be given to the first and third formulas specifically.
