| ===History===
| |
| The [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-II]] [[Blue Team]] used polypseudomorphine to sedate [[Colonel]] [[Robert Watts]] so he could be brought back to the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] for interrogation.{{Ref/Reuse|FoR10}} [[Jonathan Doherty]] used the drug to ease the pain of the dying [[Gage Yevgenny]].{{Ref/Reuse|dirt}} In [[2526]], [[Kelly-087]] administered polypseudomorphine to the [[Castoffs]].{{Ref/Reuse|HO13}}{{Ref/Novel|Oblv|Chapter=14}}
| |
| | |
| In [[2559]], [[Veta Lopis]] used a lethal dose of the drug to perform a mercy kill on the injured UNSC [[pilot]] [[Myklonas]], by artificially preventing her heartbeat and suppressing her respiration. This allowed the pilot a peaceful death, and prevented her from becoming an unfortunate victim of the [[Jiralhanae]] torture-game of [[tossers]].{{Ref/Reuse|DW1}}
