This Week's Special:

Darrel likes cigarette breaks and long walks underground. He makes healthy-BMI stacks FIFO in the mines and, upon returning to suburbia, flies out to his own personal diggings. He was living under a rock during the Voice to Parliament referendum. He is not sure what he would want said, anyway.

Darrel prefers the outback but he owns a three bedroom place on Schmocken Street.  The lounge room is his pile of retirement copper. The guest room hosts mound of silver, saving for a Ural with sidecar. Also Yttrium, which the woman down the road will accept for work, but Darrel is wary of crossing that threshold.

Of particular note is the Mythril, chemical number 11 1/3. Yeah, sure, it is a bullshit number of electrons and, sure, it cannot be used large scale without fuckton woopsies. For the side hustle with potentially lucrative shits and giggles to pursue, however, Mythril is an interesting shot of chaos.

That market is Cameron.

Cameron likes to do drugs. Cameron likes to make drugs. Usually at the same time. The chemistry is complicated but Cameron is not.

Ever since the 2012 Miami cannibal attack, Cameron wanted to distil the substance that would turn one into fast-zombie. He was congenial with the effects of, therefore dismissed, methylone, mephedrone and methylenedioxypyrovalerone, so he tried piprodrol. No success there, but Cameron's subconscious kept wading through drugs towards a solution. Eventually, hallucinating on... something... Cameron saw the molecular structure - the active ingredient was actually three due to quantum-level chemical polarity.

People do not want to be zombies because they get murdered, or at least killed. The target market for this product is someone who recognises it are Bath Salts. Because (most) adults do not drink bath water, the salts can be safely(ish) used to sooth muscles with temporary undeadness. Somebody may be willing to risk zombification for the jiggly-legs to outdo all jiggly-legs. Baths with Salts also somewhat ease symptoms of ear-nose-and-throat colds.

That market is Darrel.
