| − | Besides its uses as a narcotic, Tranq has palliative properties as well. Tranq has a profound effect on the user's metabolism. While under the influence, Tranq users consume far fewer calories, often as low as 10%. This effect is often employed in the care of some [[Zeta]] level Differents, whose bodies require such high levels of calories or specific nutrients that they could not be reasonably supported. These individuals are put under what is known as a [[Tranq Coma]], a semi-conscious or unconscious state, where their metabolic rates are kept low. Individuals are kept in this state until they can learn to control their abilities or other treatments can be found. | + | Besides its uses as a narcotic, Tranq has palliative properties as well.
