October, 2045

The next six weeks were a flurry of activity for the four of them. Brian rolled out the new formula to his contacts by hand at casual meetings in public places. It felt weird having lunch or dinner in a regular restaurant, as if he were a spy passing secrets along. He’d never been so paranoid in his life. The thing he worried the most about was what he would do if local cops or federal agents suddenly tried to accost him. His part of the plan was now finished, but if the authorities closed in on him, it would destroy everything they’d worked for the last two-plus years to achieve. Especially if he freaked out and hurt a lot of people in frightening, unnatural ways.

Garret barely spoke to anyone during that time, working for thirty and sometimes forty hour stretches thanks to the baked goods that Brian brought home from the cook house. He’d perfected the induction modules for learning, but after Brian had revealed the side effect, he decided to tinker with it one more time. Instead of having a hundred different learning modules ready for reveal, he was going to release just one.

Derry was like a butterfly, flitting to and fro, making sure everything was in place, meeting up with contacts that Brian didn’t have time for because of his cook schedule that couldn’t be interrupted. It was too close to reveal to have any of his clients question his sudden unavailability. A few of the men who’d shown up to the house had talked to him about this crazy new drug and the YouTube video, wondering what his take on it was. His Russian contacts were especially curious, knowing that he had extra interest in the Lyborsol-8n that they delivered to him to turn into Crash.

One particular chemist, after cooking up a batch, had run an analysis of the formula, cross-referencing it with other chemical compounds that shared the same chains. He’d posted it on a few newsgroups and an online discussion forum, where it got picked up by both the Russian mob and the DEA. The Russians were pissed at the number of new federal agents suddenly snooping around their territory. The DEA was pissed that the chemist posted his analysis as an almost step-by-step breakdown of the entire process in an instruction manual format, which instantly began to seed its way across the net.

The news reports for two straight weeks detailed how the authorities had captured the person responsible. Brian had felt guilty that the chemist was probably locked in a dungeon somewhere under a mountain, being endlessly interrogated. Derry had suggested they help the man out, but Garret argued hard, harder than she or Brian had ever witnessed, that while it was unfortunate for the poor, stupid chemist who didn’t bother to mask his identity and posted in a very public net forum, it kept law enforcement focused on the suspect and his social circles. Derry’s look perfectly described how she felt about it, but Brian had been forced to agree with Garret.
