Enough polypseudomorphine can knock out an [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODST]] for the better part of a day.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 91''</ref> The drug is usually used for battlefield triage, but some [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] special forces teams also use it to knock out suspects so they can be captured. For example, the [[Spartan-II]] [[Blue Team]] used it to sedate [[Colonel]] [[Robert Watts]] so he could be brought back to [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] for interrogation.
