Preaxin

Preaxin is a sleeping pill that was formerly advertised on ECKVA Network.

Properties
Although it was not explicitly referred to as such, the side effects listed in ECKVA4 are almost identical to a sleeping pill; this would match with the sleeping pill that Birdwatcher received in Clear Lakes 44 Broadcast #10.

On top of being a sleeping pill, it appears to have more supernatural properties; it is unknown if these properties are inherit to the medication itself, or if the medication simply allows other supernatural properties to become active. ECKVA18 appears to imply that Preaxin is used to allow BLOT to take control of an individual; however, Louse implies that it allows whatever Rot represents to take control.

History
Preaxin was a sleeping pill that was advertised on ECKVA Network. When it was still active, drug trials were being run; around this time, SHawkins took it for an unknown period of time. However, after this period of time, they stopped. Its slogan was: "Why not start your new life today?"

If Preaxin is the sleeping pill seen in Clear Lakes 44, then it was first mentioned in Broadcast #9, when Birdwatcher's doctor told him that he would be prescribed a mild sleeping pill. It was delivered in Broadcast #10, which allowed Birdwatcher to fall asleep; Walker attempted to attack him almost immediately after, but was unable to due to an unknown form of protection. In Broadcast #12, Birdwatcher was awoken by a television, and collapsed after touching it. Walker approached him at that point, and was able to take him. It is possible that Preaxin removed Birdwatcher's natural protection to Walker; however, it has not been confirmed. Later, in ECKVA4, the Broadcaster showed SHawkins an old Preaxin commercial; they recognized it as a medication they took in the past. It later made a direct appearance in ECKVA9, as the Broadcaster left an envelope at the abandoned house that contained it; SHawkins recognized it, and threw it away in ECKVA10. When SHawkins was attacked by the Interference in ECKVA12, someone appeared to force feed them a pill right before the camera cut. The person wore blue gloves like SHawkins; as the Broadcaster had been represented with blue gloves before, it is possible that they were the one to force SHawkins to take the pill.

In ECKVA18, an Alis Pastry cartoon titled "Alis Gets Better" showed Alis being fed a pill by the Broadcaster; as she swallowed the pill, the distorted background behind her began to grow cleaner and cleaner, while the messy audio was replaced with only static.
