Shika, derived from the sacred Shika Me La mushroom, is a potent hallucinogenic drug that induces vivid sensory experiences and profound introspection. Once revered for its ceremonial use by the Native Tribes of VOI 700 D, Shika has been co-opted into an illicit trade, fueling a burgeoning epidemic across Firetown and other settlements. It is a popular substance among isolated miners, exhausted Coachmen of the Federal Courier Service, and those seeking escape from the harsh realities of the Gamma Age.
