| - | Quark plasma is a cloud of highly energised, but relatively stable quarks - subatomic particles that are the building blocks of baryonic matter. When incorporated into the energy-plasma chambers of devices they can provide nigh-on limitless power before they destabilise back into low-energy quarks and evaporate into quantum foam. Although they decay fairly rapidly when brought out of containment, and the time it takes to apply them is quite long in comparison with their short life, the energy they provide while active is immense. | + | Quark plasma is a cloud of highly energised, but relatively stable quarks - subatomic particles that are the building blocks of baryonic matter.

Although they decay fairly rapidly when brought out of containment, and the time it takes to apply them is quite long in comparison with their short life, the energy they provide while active is immense. One drawback of this immense energy boost is that most devices are not capable of handling it, and an infusion of Quark Plasma through a devices power conduits is likely to cause all sorts of damage to its internal components. |

| As with all [[Exotic Substances]], a character with at least 1 rank in the relevant speciality ([[Professional Skills#Etheric Science]] in this case) can spend 1 minute of appropriate roleplaying to apply 1 measure of Quark Plasma to an item. After this roleplaying, they should unpeel the sticker that represents this substance, stick it to the lammie of the item being powered-up, and record the current date and time on it. | As with all [[Exotic Substances]], a character with at least 1 rank in the relevant speciality ([[Professional Skills#Etheric Science]] in this case) can spend 1 minute of appropriate roleplaying to apply 1 measure of Quark Plasma to an item.
