Cartridges

Cartridges are specialized packages made at Ido Front from the flesh and essence of humans who are the easiest to transport and won't be missed.

Description
They are used to sustain energy by combating the Curse of the Abyss. For portability, only the brain and vital organs of children are used.

The Curse is deflected away from Bondrewd and onto the child in the cartridge instead. A cocktail of drugs is also used to induce a state of ecstasy and terror in the cartridge to boost the curse-combating efficiency.

When Prushka's Cartridge is used, Bondrewd is able to avoid the loss of humanity from ascending in the 6th layer and instead receives the Blessing of the Abyss.

Trivia

 * According to Nanachi, only the brain, part of the spine and enough guts to live for a few days until the expiration date of the respective Cartridge, and wrapped in skin and flesh after all has been thoroughly scraped off, is used to make them.
 * When Bondrewd visited the village with Umbra Hands, and brought specimens, icluding Mitty, along, the cartridges were still in an incomplete prototype development stage.
