Zyme

Zyme (name literally meaning "a ferment") is a synthetic drug that appeared in the 2050's in the USA. It quickly spread throughout the crisis-torn society and is considered a serious threat to public welfare. It is theorized to be the cause of an outbreak of mental illness. Washington D.C. considers introducing a zero-tolerance policy against recreational use of zyme. A zyme dealer named Rock is encountered in the Mole People tunnels under Battery Park.

In Deus Ex, the player is offered a job to rob a Zyme stash in a bakery in Paris by mafia members. While the mafia members will offer credits for the zyme stolen from the bakery, they will actually pay for any and all zyme in the player's inventory. As a result, a player that has been saving zyme all game will have an opportunity to cash in after the job.

Post-collapse greasel trainers utilize zyme to increase the aggressiveness of their pupils.
