+====== Neurogel =====
+Neurogel is a fluid used as a brain-computer interface and preservation medium by missionaries of the [[lore:bright_way|Bright Way]] during interstellar voyages. Yinrih are incapable of losing consciousness without dying, making anesthetic technologies for preserving crew during slower-than-light interstellar travel such as hypersleep unusable.
+Neurogel serves a number of functions. It suspends metabolism while keeping the brain and nervous system active, cushions the suspended person against high G-forces, and bridges the user's nervous system with the ship's computer without invasive implants.
+Neurogel is contained within machines called metabolic suspension capsules or amnions. Missionaries are fully submerged in neurogel during transit. The amnion presents a simulacrum to the suspended missionary while accelerating their time perception in order to make the trip seem to pass more quickly.
+This simulacrum can be addictive, and missionaries are rigorously screened, and undertake a regimen of prayer and meditation so they don't dissociate, believing the simulacrum to be reality and forgetting their identity in the real world.
+The addictive nature of neurogel makes it an object of abuse by so-called //gel-heads//.
