Jet



 is a highly addictive drug first synthesized by Myron. It is extracted from brahmin dung fumes and administered via an inhaler.

History
When Myron first encountered the Mordinos, they were farming peyote cacti and selling it to tourists as the "Reno Experience." Unfortunately, as Myron explains, peyote trips last too long, and profit is generated by fast turnaround and a high addiction rate. Furthermore, the climate was far too ravaged and irradiated to grow anything but the hardiest of plants. So, Myron began delving into growing mushrooms. Hallucinogens have low overhead and thrive in plentiful brahmin dung. From there, Myron began experimenting with derivatives of lysergic acid diethylamide, psilocybin and THC. However, the Mordinos still desired something a little harder and more addictive that could aid them in gaining control of Redding. The solution to the problem came from the brahmin fertilizer itself.

In the pre-War days, big meat companies had experimented with a cheap protein extract for growing food. However, the product had to be abandoned because any bacterial contamination--even from common skin bacterias--resulted in a complex reaction, causing it to act like methamphetamine. To cut their losses, farmers fed the extract to their cattle.

Myron discovered that the fumes generated from brahmin who had been fed the contaminated protein extract could be used to create a powerful drug. By placing the augmented brahmin dung in large vats, Myron and the Mordinos were finally able to begin producing the potent drug they had been after. About a hundred slaves were killed in initial testing--mostly results of heart attacks, cerebral hemorrhages, and psychotic episodes--but Jet was ultimately produced.

Thanks to Myron and Jet, the Mordino family were able to build their drug empire. Grateful, they supplied their boy-genius with anything he wanted, usually whores and drugs. The Stables research team would further Myron's work, hoping to create a stronger and even more potent version, codenamed Jet Beta. However, the results were unsuccessful, as they couldn't quite get the kinks out (e.g., nasal bleeding, hallucinations, heart attacks). Its high was also longer - from 15 to 60 minutes.

Myron would die less than a year after the Chosen One defeated the Enclave, somewhat ironically stabbed to death by a Jet addict in a bar at the Den. While no one remembered that Myron created Jet or even remembers his name, his creation would live on, apparently even somehow spreading to the Capital Wasteland, where someone would produce an even more potent version, named Ultrajet, designed for use by ghouls, who are barely affected by standard Jet.

Fallout 2
Jet addiction in Fallout 2 is curable only by the Jet Antidote.

Locations

 * New Reno, purchased from different dealers.
 * The Den, sometimes findable on the junkies, and sold by Tubby.

Fallout 3
Jet returns in Fallout 3. It is cheaper than in Fallout 2, but the effects are lessened, too. In Fallout 3, it provides +30 action points.

There is a more potent variant of Jet called "Ultrajet", but it still does not seem to be as potent or addictive as the Jet encountered in Fallout 2. The newer, more powerful drug was developed as an attempt to market Jet to ghouls, who were almost unaffected by common Jet.

Locations
Jet can be bought from the local chem seller (Leo Stahl, [If you choose to buy chems off Leo Stahl during the Leo's Drug Habit quest], A Quick Fix)
 * Wasteland Junkie
 * Cindy Cantelli
 * Doc Church
 * Doc Hoff
 * Doctor Banfield
 * Doctor Barrows And Nurse Graves
 * Cutter
 * Ahzrukhal sells a few Jet and many other chems at his shop in Underworld.
 * A lot of Jet can be looted off the trogs in the Pitt.
 * As well there is large amounts lying around the Supply Plant, and in Uptown, though most of the Jet in Uptown must be stolen.(The Pitt DLC)
 * A large amount of Jet (at least 20 of them) is lying around randomly at Dukov's Place.
 * There is some Jet on a mannequin in Uptown in The Pitt DLC.

Fallout: New Vegas
In Fallout: New Vegas, Jet is sold by all the wastelanders to be produced by Khans as another form of income for the small raider clan. Drug Addicts of New Vegas tend to live outside of populated area, due to being prisoners of their own addiction, to find ways to collect enough caps, NCR Dollars, or Ceasar's Gold just to buy another high.

Jet is used as an ingredient in its homebrew counterpart, Rocket.

Ingame, Jet bonus is +15AP, Rocket bonus is +30AP

Inconsistencies
While it is said that Myron created Jet, Mrs. Bishop says that she got hooked on Jet by Bishop (before they got married) and for that she got kicked out of Vault City, which would require Jet to be much older than Myron is. According to Chris Avellone, what Mrs. Bishop says is a mistake and is not canon. It is more likely that Bishop got her hooked on some other drug. Consistent use of Jet will have muddled Mrs. Bishop's perceptions in any case.

While several characters say it has a near-100% addiction rate, for the player the rate is only 50%.

In Fallout 3, Jet can be found in containers located in a sealed Vault, which appears to be an unintentional product of randomized loot tables. However, non leveled Jet is placed in other locations that were seemingly untouched since the war, which is likely a mistake on the part of level designers, as Jet was made years after the Great War.

Appearances
Jet appears in Fallout 2, Fallout 3, and Fallout: New Vegas.
