Soman

Soman, or GD (systematic name: O-Pinacolyl methylphosphonofluoridate), is an extremely toxic chemical substance. It is a nerve agent, interfering with normal functioning of the mammalian nervous system by inhibiting the cholinesterase enzyme. It is an inhibitor of both acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase. As a chemical weapon, it is classified as a weapon of mass destruction by the United Nations according to UN Resolution 687. Its production is strictly controlled, and stockpiling is outlawed by the Chemical Weapons Convention of 1993 where it is classified as a Schedule 1 substance. Soman was the third of the so-called G-series nerve agents to be discovered along with GA (tabun), GB (sarin), and GF (cyclosarin).

It is a volatile, corrosive, and colorless liquid with a faint odor when pure. More commonly, it is a yellow to brown color and has a strong odor described as similar to camphor. The LCt50 for soman is 70 mg·min/m3 in humans. It is both more lethal and more persistent than sarin or tabun, but less so than cyclosarin.

    Ymbolg

    by: Samhain

    In the dearth of the Light
    Under the eye of Rhianonn´s land
    A strange moon shines upon tonight
    The world will break like stone into sand
    I feel the breaking of the Maelström
    Cornish’s spirits shall hunt thy souls
    The hearts of men pierced by a thorn
    Some might hear their weapons call
    Chorus
    The shores seems to rise
    An earthquake begun
    The moon seem to cry
    The men are waiting, but can’t feel anything
    Swords still in their sheath
    The fire is near…
    A deadly army arrived
    “To arms” shouted the king of clan
    Druids prepare yourselves in time
    For the battle has begun
    From the earth and seas and heavens
    Cornish´s spirits are on their way to war
    The hearts of men possessed by ravens
    Courageous and brave fight under the stars
    Chorus
    The horses ride pride
    Men show their wrath
    Although they will die
    The spirits approach
    Arrows fly on Ymbolg
    Swords raised claiming blood
