5 Tiny Details in Detroit: Become Human

Pizza isn’t the only unhealthy treat old Toddy is into, you know.

While in the process of sourcing detergent to do the washing, Kara happens upon a stash of Red Ice. It is a fictional drug unique to the world of Detroit: Become Human, possessing a potent blend of acetone, lithium, toluene, hydrochloric acid, and thirium. If you’re keen on pulling a Walter White and mixing up a batch for yourself, you’ll be disappointed to know that thirium doesn’t actually exist. It’s also the main ingredient in the blue blood flowing through android bodies, which suggests it’s probably fairly unhygienic and just downright yucky.

The interesting thing worth noting in Kara’s analysis is that the molecular formula stated (C₁₇H₂₁NO₄) has a real-life equivalent in cocaine. Why Red Ice would have the same mole ratios as a completely different drug isn’t quite clear, but it’s handy to know that if you ever have to get an android started up, a quick hit of coke is all it takes. That’s the excuse I’m taking to court, anyway.
