Elro's Compound

"'It's kind of terrifying. Surely even more terrifying for those with Ivory blood...' - Elro"

=Overview= Elro's Compound is an unnamed purple mixture of 2 liquids (also unnamed) that, when injected into an object with Ivory, quickly causes all Ivory to be ejected from the object, reducing it to Detritus Dust. Because almost anything on the Planet contains Ivory, the compound has the potential to be used as a chemical weapon. Only two complete samples are known to exist, and Elro did not write down the 2-ingredient formula anywhere. The two samples are contained in syringes that Elro keeps with him.

=Origin= Elro retrieved log files of an event where the One Concern attempted to create a more efficient Rocket fuel. The project instead resulted in an explosion instead of thrust, and it was deemed a failure. Though the Concern did not realize it, it had created an activator that quickly ejects Ivory from matter. Elro researched the event and managed to recreate the substance. It is a mixture that takes two liquids in order to function. Elro loads several syringes with one of the key ingredients but only primes two of them by adding the second liquid to them. These two keeps with him.

=Appearances=

Assassination of Agent Grey
While Elro and Teegan are at work at the One Concern HQ, Agent Grey walks up to Elro to express condolences for the death of his father, Polro. Officially, the Concern has called his death an accident, but Elro blames the Concern for the death of his father and he accuses Grey of being insincere, jabbing them with one of his armed syringes in anger. Before Agent Grey can retaliate, they fall to the floor and explode into Detritus Dust. Elro flees and becomes a fugative escaping with the help of the ChemiCo Contra, who nearly give themselves away in the process. He also makes a lifelong enemy of Agent Black, who sets out to avenge Grey.

Failed Assassination of General Chrome
While investigating the death of Grey, the Concern presumably finds the rest of Elro's syringes. After Chrome betrays the Bastion Suits at the One Concern West, Nobel uses one of these syringes to attempt to assassinate Chrome. The attempt fails because the syringe was not armed with the second key ingredient. Chrome is unaware, and interprets his survival as a divine sign of the righteousness of his actions.

Assassination of General Chrome
While General Chrome meets with Robin atop the Bastion and explains his plans to become the new leader of the Concern and eliminate all other leader figures, he also announces the need for Robin to die to fulfil his mission. Elro walks into the room defiantly and stabs Chrome with his second primed syringe. Chrome mocks him initially, believeing himself to be divinely protected due to the previous failed assassination attempt. But unbenounced to him, this syringe has both liquids needed to react in it. Moments later, his body turns purple and explodes into Detritus Dust
