	However, what makes cybernephrine dangerous is that in large doses, it can cause permanent brain damage. During the [[Virtual Wars]], it was sometimes used as a method of instantly neutralizing a target by presenting them with such an intense dose that merely perceiving it was enough to overwhelm the senses. As such, it is now considered standard for VR headsets to come with safety features that filter out cognitohazards. Additionally, cybernephrine as a weapon has been banned from wartime use though it still sees a significant prevalence in the underground.

	Illegally obtained cybernephrine largely comes groups such as the [[Aether Cartels]] ~~whose base of operations are located in orbit of~~ the gas giant [[Aether]]. They gather their supply through poaching - that is, they travel to various virtual worlds and abduct virtual life forms in large quantities. More intelligent, more complex life forms are usually the target, including those that pass the [[Standard Sapience Test]]. Upon harvesting enough cybernephrine, the victim usually transforms into a [[Rampant]], losing all sense of self-awareness and acting on hostile, aggressive instinct. Due to the excessive energy usually required to properly destroy a virtual life form, it is often more cost efficient to simply release Rampants back into the wild. As such, the rise of cybernephrine use can be directly correlated to the amount of Rampant attacks.		Illegally obtained cybernephrine largely comes groups such as the [[Cult of Kronos]] on [[Yeddo]] as well as the [[Aether Cartels]] from the gas giant [[Aether]].

	==Quality==		==Quality==
	Cybernephrine quality depends on the virtual or synthetic life form that it was extracted from. Cybernephrine is most effective when extracted from a unique, complex individual. Therefore, mass cloning of one individual is largely ineffective. It's for this reason why multiple specimens from different species are preferred. Older individuals are also preferred as they tend to be the most cognitively complex. Poachers have trapped some life forms that are centuries and even thousands of years old to extract from them.

			It is also possible to extract cybernephrine from humans indirectly. This is done by cloning their consciousness and uploading it to a digital system. Trafficking of humans to obtain cybernephrine is far less common, but the [[Soul Brokers]] from [[Frey]] often negotiate with certain clientel to obtain consciousness uploads from humans upon death.

	'''Cybernephrine''' (sometimes known as '''nephie''') is a substance best described as a digital drug. It is naturally produced as a series of encoded data by self-evolving [[virtual life form]]s as a means of regulating programs that define emotional state parameters. However, in organic life forms especially humans, it has the effect of amplifying specific emotions to an extreme extent. The translation from ~~sythetic~~ to organic minds works most commonly through any sort of device such as VR headset that can interface with neural patterns. For it to take effect, all what is needed is for the mind to perceive its presence in the digital realm. While it is legally used for medical purposes and in some districts as recreational drugs, on the black market, it is often used for more nefarious means such as methods of interrogation.
