    Looking for the right word to describe a type of soldier

    Fresh meat

    Sadly, no. part three is still in the making (even though the website doesn't even advertise it anymore, I doubt if it ever sees the light. The Passage is hard to get into.

    Using real names for chemical weapons?

    I'd say that if you were using chemical names, just use those that already exist. If you are going to use names for certain things (like Zyklon-B, Sarin, abbreviations like VX), I would suggest you make up your own. Apart from that, you might opt to give them names based off their function, or...
