Despite the description stating that you will fall asleep, taking [[Sleep Gas Generation]] will not make you immune to falling [[asleep]] from {{PAGENAME}}.
{{Name}} is a [[Mutations#Physical Mutations|physical mutation]] that allows the player to control the flow of their adrenaline, granting them various bonuses.
 
Adrenal Control grants the "Release Adrenaline" activated ability, which when used, will grant the {{qud text|&Radrenaline flowing}} status effect and will cause the mutation level of all of the player's physical mutations to increase a temporary amount based on Adrenal Control's mutation level. It will also increase the players's [[Quickness]] by a mutation level-based amount.
 
Adrenal Control will not increase its own level. Additionally, attributes bonuses gained by boosting mutations that grant such bonuses (such as {{favilink|Double-muscled}}) will be temporary and will not count towards satisfying [[skill]] requirements.
 
The cooldown of Adrenal Control is special in that it ticks down every one of your actions. Most abilites tick down every 1000 action points, potentially making Adrenal Control finish a lot faster than other mutations with a similar cooldown with high [[quickness]] or [[movespeed]] (such as during [[Sprint]]).

== Advantages ==
</div>
* Increases the [[Quickness]] of it's users, which allows them to take more actions per turn. This means they can attack more, run faster, and use items faster.
 
* Increasing or decreasing adrenal flow is a free action, allowing the player to buff up and attack in one turn.
</div>
* Has excellent synergy with [[Force Bubble]], as, if [[Force Bubble]] is activated after being exhausted but before falling asleep, it will push enemies away and, even at its lowest level, will stay up long enough to protect the player while asleep.
 
* Even when no grades of adrenaline are active, {{PAGENAME}} provides a small [[Quickness]] bonus.
