Helix Anti-Radiation Treatment Kit
Anti-radiation kit; decontaminates and treats radiation sickness.
Radiation is the quiet killer of the verse: reactor leaks, weapon fallout, contaminated worlds, and the cumulative dose that void-fighting crews absorb over a career. The Helix Anti-Radiation Treatment Kit addresses all of it. The chelation injectors bind heavy radioactive particles in the bloodstream and flush them through the kidneys; the thyroid blockers prevent the body from absorbing radioactive iodine; and the cellular repair ampoules deliver a DNA-repair enzyme complex that accelerates the body's natural radiation-damage recovery. A full treatment takes one hour of sustained medical attention, during which the patient must be monitored with the kit's contamination strips to track progress. The kit cannot treat acute radiation syndrome from massive exposure -- that requires an autodoc and a regeneration tank -- but it handles the chronic, low-level radiation that accumulates over months of service. Helix sells the kit to Legion void-navy crews, mining operations, and anyone whose job description includes 'occasional reactor proximity.'

Notes
Capacity: three treatment packs: chelation injectors (heavy-metal binding agents), thyroid blockers, cellular repair ampoules (DNA-repair enzyme complex), contamination monitoring strips
Effect: Removes one level of radiation exposure per full treatment (takes 1 hour). Treats 'radiation sickness' condition: stabilises the patient and prevents worsening (DC 12 Medicine check). Heals 1d6 HP from cellular repair. Each full treatment consumes two chelation injectors and one cellular repair ampoule.
