Dust - White crystalline illegal drug used on the sci-fi series BABYLON 5/SYN/1994-98. Dust accelerated the bodies neural processing ten times beyond normal, stimulating the gene that enhanced telepathic abilities. Taking Dust enabled a person to invade the mind and experiences of another person-a form of mental rape. Essentially, it allowed the user to experience all its victims memories in the space of a few minutes, leaving the victim in a state of traumatic shock or in a lack of consciousness with blood pressure far below normal. Dust was addictive and each experience required higher quantities to obtain optimum penetration of a person's psyche. When used against a telepath it almost always was deadly. Earth's Psi Corps, an elite telepathic police force, originally created Dust in 2255 in an effort to increase the number of potential telepaths. Their experiment failed but instead created a black market drug that could be used to terrorize others.
