You know that trope in movies where a spy gets captured by the enemy, only to bite down on a cyanide pill disguised as as tooth? I think that it would be pretty funny to be able to do this in SS13.
Imagine this. You get captured by security for some minor crime. As security is dragging you to the brig you scream something along the lines of "You will never take me alive!!!" and bite down on something. You instantly start taking massive amounts of toxic damage and die, all while security is watching dumbfounded.
Balance wise, and also in terms of killing you fast, I assume it wouldn't be able to actually inject you with any chemicals. It would either not really kill you right away, or if it was a chemical that COULD kill you that fast it would be abused in some way. Also I'm not really sure if its even possible for role-specific suicides to be added to the game so disregard this if it's impossible.

I think that the main thought behind my idea was that it would function as an almost mechanically identical, but more flavorful suicide than holding your breath and succumbing. Like other suicides I imagine there would be a message with it, something such as
player bites down hard on something in their mouth, before you die.
Essentially an alternate suicide command with more spy related flavor.
I think that while you could achieve poison-suicide with injector belts, it wouldn't really have the same effect. Its a lot more low-key than a suicide command, and the poison would take time to kill you. Also, I don't recall exactly how they work, but I don't think that you would really be able to activate them while cuffed or likewise.
Sorry if I didn't communicate what I was trying to say properly in my first post.

That's what I was trying to say sorry.

Make them turn their own head in via uplink, like they can with limbs of others.

Redeeming their own head with the uplink would be really fucking funny.

Hear me out.
Custom suicide where they do the classic "cyanide capsule in tooth" bit. But it's some kind of poison. Probably something that disables them fast so it's a bit tricky (but not impossible
) to remove the chem before being incapacitated.
Rare chance it's not remotely poison at all but drawn from literally any. Why? Funny.
