Alright lets make work of this.
Ayakura-san, bring me some samples of the algaes you speak of. If you know of more varieties that could be beneficial, collect those too.
Fujiwara-san, Tea has always been an inspiration, both good and bad. There is beauty in both life and death.
Sato-san, If you can obtain beneficial chemicals, be sure to aquire them. Just be sure that we have the means to easily aquire more when needed. We can later see which ones to use.
Rowe-san, amphetamines are too much of a health hazard to be included into this. We should not be adding addictive chemicals which are detrimental to our health. Which is why herbs and Ayakura-san's algae have my preference. Cardamine is the only exclusion to this. Cardamine should be vital component. If an enemy gets their hands on it, it wont be able to use it without the unavoidable addiction to cardamine. Call it a security mechanism.
Adachi-san, With the current ideas of cardamine, chrysanthemum petals, algae and chemicals.. adding sake to the mix could have adverse effects. So we need to see how this will all work out. Only the petals alone will make it a pretty bitter concoction. If you ever drank chrysanthemum too, you will know you add honey to it to make it drinkable. That is why I will propose that the main method of consumption is ritual tea sweetened with honey. However, if we let it be more than ritualistic use and actually give make it a stimulant that improves the combat effectiveness, we should carry concentrated doses in vials. We can then mix it in hot water with honey to make the ritualistic tea, or ingest it directly from the vials in cases of immediate need.
