"What? What plan?" The words could barely come as she was being strangled by the observer.

Olivia then heard shots fired and the observer was momentarily paralyzed. His grip on Olivia was realized and they both fell the ground. Two men came forward carrying futuristic looking guns. "He's dead."

Olivia's first instinct was to quickly run to Peter's side. "Peter?"

The two men approached her as she quickly pointed her gun at them. "Where did you get those guns?"

"You know these models?"

"Yes. I know of them. It's the only gun that can stop an observer. Now tell me who the hell you two are."

"We'll need to go somewhere else for that. It isn't safe here."

Olivia was defiant. "My husband is hurt!"

"Please. We can't be out here. There could be more of them. They have apparently followed us."

Olivia felt annoyed by their demands knowing that Peter needed to see a doctor but she couldn't let these two get away without any answers. So she came to a compromise. "We'll go to the lab."

Having the two men help carry Peter, she led them to the Kresge building and called Astrid to meet them outside the building and she nearly had a heart attack at the site. "Olivia? What's going on? What happened to Peter?"

"Observer attack."

"What? But I thought..."

"Astrid, can you take Peter to the hospital? I have to deal with these two for a minute."

As soon as Olivia was certain that Peter was in safe hands, the took the two men downstairs to lab but once they were alone, she pulled out her gun. "Okay, you better start talking and I warn you, I can do more than just fire a gun."

One man smiled. "We know."

"How do you know me?"

"We've heard all about you in our time."

"Your time?"

"I am Janus and this is my brother Febres. We were created for the purpose of coming here to ask for your help."

Olivia looked at the two brothers in disbelief. "Observers? That's impossible. You have hair."

"We are what you would call early prototypes."

"I don't believe you."

"That observer was going to kill you if Febres and I hadn't interfered."

"I don't know what you want from me and I have no reason to trust you."

Janus then took the briefcase that his brother was holding. "We have something that might change that."

Olivia reached her hand out to the opened briefcase and pulled out a dark-colored golf cap. She observed every detail of the cap and there was no mistaking that she knew who the cap belong to. It still had a slight scent of him. "Walter..."

"He hoped that you would recognized it. Do we have your attention now?"

"Yes." She pointed to the other object in the briefcase, one that resembled a bulky laptop computer. "But what is that?"

"He sent us a message to deliver to you."

"Then open it."

"I'm afraid it's not that simple. To ensure that you are the Olivia we've been looking for, and to ensure that you have the memories of the other time, you would have to access the password."

"The password?"

Janus pulled out the laptop. "He said you should already know what the password. Otherwise it would not be you that we seek."

But how was Olivia to know what the password was? It had to be one only she would know..something to prove that she had remembered the other timeline. But it wasn't something she remembered to detail. There were still fuzzy spots here and there but then there were memories that were going to be engraved in her mind forever, like loosing Etta. It also had to be one that Walter would know.

And then she remembered, there was a password that was used in the other time once. When she and the team had to retrieve the observer child, Michael.

She typed in the words on the keypad: BLACK_UMBRELLA.

The laptop suddenly begin to activate and on the distorted video screen was the face of someone Olivia thought she would never see again.

"Hello Olivia."

Walter was clearly trying to adjust the screen but still had some video and even angle issues regardless of his efforts. "If you have accessed this, then you remember...you remember what has happened don't you? What I have done to ensure the future? And Etta...she is with you again."

Olivia nodded although she knew he couldn't see her.

"You are receiving this message as it has been delivered to you by my two associates Janus and Febres. They are not just mere men but they are observers. I know that would seem ludicrous seeing that they have hair but I assure you they are Observers all the same...early prototypes of observers capable of time traveling like those we have known in the past. But more importantly, they have emotion. I have successfully been able to prove that intelligence and emotion can be of one creation...that one need not be sacrificed for the other. Through this I have hoped that I was able to stop the invasion that would've occurred at the time you received this message. However, there seems to be an unexpected result. They have been here. The old Observers...from the old timeline. They have waged several attacks on us but we've been able to fight them off. ...I don't understand it. The only explanation I can come up with is that someone years from now may have still experimented with the idea of Observers without emotion and has been using them to somehow move forward with what was intended before. Somehow these Observers know about us...about what we had intended to do before. And Michael..."

The screen turned to show Michael lying in a bed covered in tubes. "Michael was attacked by one. They had injected him with a compound that has paralyzed him. He has not responded to any sight or sound in days. They must've known his significance. Why else would they have tried to kill him? I have spent weeks studying...seeking for an answer to Michael's illness, as well as stopping the emotionless Observers...only to have realized that the answer was and still is Michael."

He picked up a case featuring several blue-filled tubes. "I have stored much of his DNA in test tubes upon arrival. In the year 2167 they have created a means for creating life dependent of a human female body. It is by these exact means that the Observers are able to clone themselves. We believe since Michael is an anomaly that he himself would clone another anomaly. I could easily use this device to clone Michael. However in order to have any chance of winning this battle, there was something else was needed, an ingredient that no Observer past or present was ever able to possess. I need Cortexiphan. Unfortunately, all supplies I've had of the drug, including yours, have degraded many years ago and the compounds are almost impossible to replicate in this timeline. That is why I have brought Janus and Febres to your time. The clone must have a strong supply of Cortexiphan that I have stored in my lab...Cortexiphan from your blood. Unfortunately the only way to create a clone in your time is through the natural process."

Olivia realized then what Walter wanted from her.

"I know what I am asking of you is too great but I trust no one else. I do believe you are the only one who can do this. I will need you to carry the clone and provide it with your supply of Cortexiphan. I believe in doing this, we will have an Observer more powerful than any that can possibly exist. We have several embryos cloned from Michael's DNA. We were able to pick one embryo suitable for the plan. This anomaly is expected not to age beyond that of late infancy. This will prove to be perfect with your Cortexiphan as the child will have no limitations on his abilities. I can not push you to do this...I would never do such a thing even under these dire circumstances. That is why I am leaving the choice up to you and Peter. Should you decide to go through with this, Janus and Febres will assist you with the necessary procedure along with providing you further instructions. Unfortunately, the choice must be made soon. Good luck, Olivia. Give Peter and Etta my love."

Once the video ended, the device automatically shut itself off.

"Time is short, Mrs. Bishop. We need to know your decision. Will you take on this task?"
