'''Narcozine gas''' is a chemical agent used as a weapon by the [[United Nations Space Command]]. When inhaled, the gas quickly causes paralysis, and extended exposure causes pulmonary edema, (swelling of fluid in the lungs), which can quickly become fatal due to suffocation and drowning.<ref name="First Strike">'''Halo: First Strike''', ''page 127 - 128''</ref>


Narcozine gas is installed as a security measure in certain [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] bases, like [[CASTLE Base]] on [[Reach]], in order to neutralize potential threats to security. [[Artificial intelligence|AI constructs]] inside these bases are given broad discretionary powers, with the power to use this gas on anyone who violates protocol and accesses classified information. The AI [[Araqiel]] threatened to use this gas against [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Cathrine Halsey]] at the base. In return, Halsey activated the AI's fail-safe function, erasing Araqiel's [[Riemann matrix]].{{Ref/Reuse|First Strike}}
The UNSC does not use the agent in combat. It is instead installed as a security measure in [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] bases, like [[CASTLE Base]] on [[Reach]], in order to neutralize potential threats to security. [[Artificial intelligence|AI constructs]] inside these bases are given broad discretionary powers, with the power to use this gas on anyone who violates protocol and accesses classified information. The AI [[Araqiel]] threatened to use this gas against [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr. Cathrine Halsey]] at CASTLE base on Reach. In return, Halsey activated the AI's fail-safe function, effectively erasing Araqiel.<ref name="First Strike"/>
