Xeno panic!

Kat did not look, did not meet his eyes or even stare in his direction. She was cold and gone, lost in her own thoughts of hopelessness, unreachable by normal means. "Alex...Master..." Agatha said, standing between him and Kat. "I...I think there is something I should tell you." She would try then to get him away from Kat and over to a place a where they would not be overheard. "Master, Kat...she had a complicated problem." the slave confessed. "You see, to get to where she was she went through many, many things. One of those things was drug testing, Farun 3 to be exact. Farun 3 was a drug that was supposed to stimulate and enhance mental performance in users, but it failed to produce the desired effects. The effects it did produce...however were rather...unsettling." Agatha looked back at Kat and then back at Alex. "The drug is very addictive for one thing and caused strange effects on subjects. One such effect was...well, for lack of a better term, an aphrodisiac, making the subject horny and lusty for hours. This would have been amusing were it not so addictive, and its withdrawal is most unusual. Instead of the normal withdrawal symptoms, shakes, shallow eyes, and such, a subject suffers from extreme depression and losses all sense of self worth and self preservation. All test subjects of the Farun program committed suicide only a week after being taken off the drug. All but her. She has been surviving with small, personalized doses she kept in her room, but she is not fond of them and has been trying to ween herself off of the drug altogether. But Im afraid she has had no success at all, and there is no telling how long she has gone without it. Im afraid that at this rate she will become either completely unresponsive or kill herself soon." The course was clear then, at least to an extent. Alex needed to get the antidote for his love, Silvia, who did not deserve to die twice, and Kat needed her drug to be useful and help them escape. How to get them was another matter, Alex had to make a plan, had to save his girls, had to atone.
