NEDS (Nanotech Epidermal Delivery System) first appears in Dark Age as a lethal, skin-embedded weapon that fuses with the user's knuckles to deliver nerve agents through white-line tattoos. Its debut marks a grim evolution in personal combat technology, transforming the body itself into a delivery mechanism for chemical warfare. The system’s static-hair convulsions and instant lethality underscore the saga’s escalating brutality and the weaponization of human flesh.
