Phase 2: Experimentation (Part 2)
This is the documentation of the second round of testing of the substances.
Premise:
For the purpose of the testing, sixty subjects were selected, different from the ones in the first round and of a greater variety of species, and told that they will be testing out anti-anxiety medication. The method of intake was in the form of pre-mixed batches of formula given out to the subjects in large water containers. Again, the subjects were instructed to go on with their usual water intake. Twenty of the subjects were given the first formula, twenty were given the third, while the last twenty of them were given the placebo, not knowing which is which. All subjects, placebo included, were explained to that the effects of the formula are meant to make them calmer during a prolongued period of time. Regarding the species making up the participants, they consisted of 10 humans, 8 twi'leks, 8 rodians, 7 duros, 6 nautolans, 5 mon calamari, 5 cathar, 4 togruta, and a single representative of the bothan, zabrak, zeltron, kubaz, rattataki, ugnaught and aqualish. The subjects were told to log their symptoms and temperament during the course of a two month period, after which a behavioral evaluation was conducted.
For the second part of this, all subjects would then be given the formula deemed the most effective, as a means of properly judging the effects of it on a wider spectrum of species. The duration of this test was two more months, with much the same procedure taking place.
Outcome:
During the course of the four months, of those having taken the placebo there was in fact a change in behaviour, however small. The subjects attested that they felt just slightly more relaxed than their previous state, but significantly less than the subjects testing the other formulas and with none of the documented apathetic attitude. When it comes to the formulas and the intended behavioral changes, the first one once again seems to be the most promising, with the third coming up as second. The first formula seems to induce the perfect balance of enhanced mood, relaxation and a state of apathetic inaction to one's surroundings. In terms of species, none of them seemed immune to the formula during the second part of the testing, with twi'leks particularly susceptible, although cultural norms might also be at play here. Thankfully, no allergic reactions or deaths occured this time, even though a handfull of the subjects did have prior health conditions that made the endeavour risky. Notable also is the fact that the formula was accidentally consumed by a participant's offspring, with no deleterious effects other than more than usual lethargy and increased apathy, which is a positive if it is to be administered widely.
Notes:
In conclusion, the first formula seems to be the most fitting on widespread usage. The last part is testing out how different kinds of water filters stand against it.
