A bottle of Memory Fluid

Memory Fluid is a very illegal and highly sought-after narcotic within the Backrooms. Currently, a war is being waged between the Insect Extermination Task Force of the M.E.G. and the groups which engage in the production of Memory Fluid, collectively known as the Undulators.

Description

Memory Fluid is created by grinding up entities known as Wormlings and boiling them until they become a completely liquefied. The resultant fluid glows in various shades of blue, and has been described as tasting either of extremely stale or extremely sour lemonade, depending on the brew. Though this drug can temporarily act as a stress-alleviating drink, it can have devastating properties if taken in excess or prepared incorrectly.

Positive Effects Include:

  • A mild state of forgetfulness that allows Wanderers to stabilize their sanity and find an inner calm.
  • A mild numbness that provides Wanderers with pain relief from minor injuries and abrasions.
  • Positive phantom memories associated with friendship, family, or love, depending on the particular brew.

Negative Effects Include:

  • A state of extreme forgetfulness that incapacitates the user for a period of up to 3 hours.
  • A state of extreme numbness to external stimuli which incapacities the user for a period of up to 3 hours
  • Negative phantom memories associated with betrayal, hatred, and isolation, depending on the particular brew.

Brews

Memory Fluid is known to have a number of different 'brews' which affect what kind of phantom memories it provides its users. These brews are made using juices extracted from worm which have feed on specific body parts, as well as specific kinds of people. Due to illegal measures required to obtain these brews, this drug is considered highly illegal within the territories of the M.E.G. and the Backrooms in general.

The Undulators

Despite being considered illegal, a number of underground groups have become dedicated to the harvesting and production of Memory Fluid, much to the detriment of the efforts made by the I.E.T.F. to eradicate the species. Due to this, a drug war currently exists within the Backrooms between the M.E.G. and the groups which make up the underground market for Memory Fluid, collectively referred to as the Undulators.

Discovery

The first documented occurrence of Memory Fluid was in 2001, on Level 398 of the Backrooms, when the M.E.G. was performing a raid on a party held by unidentified armed personnel trespassing on M.E.G. territory. During the raid, it was discovered that this group of wanderers had torn open several walls on Level 398 to collect wormlings for usage in their homemade narcotic. This substance would later become a popular and controversial drug in the Backrooms, known by the names of Bee Juice, Wormsauce, Memory Fluid, or simply Fluid.
