===Polymorphine ===
The injection of the Polymorphine compound is generally found in a subdermal injector beneath their the assassin's skin, generally resembling an unnatural bulge that is tumour-hard which requires the Callidus to roll up their synthskin bodysuit then twist the lump so that the formula is armed, causing their skin to stretch like a tent before a button sprangs up for activation. Callidus operatives can ordinarily slip from one body to another with ease, but when a subject is so physically different; such as going from a rail-thin body to a robust physique; the Callidus must achieve a transitional state where they turn genderless and featureless, more like a sculptor's model than a human as their nose retreat until its two holes in their face while their cheeks flatten, hair goes away, lips thin out and veins retreat before transformation is fully complete.{{Fn|21}} Callidus operatives also further undergo psycho-indoctrination that during longer operations their assumed identities take over their concious minds and their true self merges temporarily into the black waters of their subconscious. It is only when the time for a kill is close that a Callidus starts to mentally identify themselves as a woman again, reverting slowly to their real identity within their minds.{{Fn|21}}
