Oh, the way that I was viewing it, pleasant would NOT be the way I'd describe it. Remember, I'm using a fair amount of Expresso in the mix. Enough to
force a RAPID biomod, if it goes through. We're talking something that normally takes a day (at least from what's been done in a lot of the stories)
down to maybe 15 MINUTES. This is not for fun...or for the faint of heart. Anyone wanting to do it on a whim, or simply because they didn't get the best
biomod the first time around...well, the Jason would probably be telling them off, quite firmly. Best case scenario would be to administer the stuff with life
support and an IV drip of something to supply nutrients/energy. Of course, in a life-or-death situation, often you can't get that soon enough. So,
we're talking a person probably burning through ALL of their fat reserves, and even eating into muscle mass in order to drive the change through this
rapidly. You might even get a biomod that gives a body a bit smaller than the old one, just to get enough energy to drive it through. Even in the best case
scenario, you're putting an enormous strain on the system. We're talking the entire body going rigid/back bowed, muscles/other stuff writhing visibly
under the skin....it should scare spectators white, folks. Watching even a normal human biomod - especially the more extreme ones - probably isn't pretty.
Now speed the whole thing up....
And yes, there could also be a case of diminishing returns as well. Only....I'd say that the effectiveness doesn't decay. I would say that the stress
on the system increases, instead. Or even accelerated aging - perhaps you start to lose years off your life from it, every time through, as well as the stress.
The long term effects of exposure to Expresso have yet to be determined after all, especially in humans. The Jason was only exposed once, and that was only a
few drops. He's probably been following the effects on plants, but there's a big difference between them and human reactions.
