Title: The Cure (Chapter 2)
Spoilers For: Epitaph One
Characters: Topher Brink, Adelle DeWitt
Rating: K+
Summary: Adelle has an idea on how to restore Topher to his former, perfectly sane, glory.
Adelle ventured up to Topher's office, and opened the large cabinet where they kept all of the older scans. The most recent scans were hidden behind a wall, but when Topher was still around on a regular basis, he insisted that they keep all the older ones as well. She didn't see the need then, but she most certainly did then.
She ran her fingers down the row where Topher's were kept, and she pulled out the one taken a week before the mass call- the call that started the war, the call that through the world in to chaos, the call made possible through the discoveries of Topher Brink. The call triggered the downfall of her friend into insanity, and she could think of no other way to make it better.
Adelle, suddenly taken by the magnitude of the situation, rose wearily and stumbled to the chair. She used her shaky hands to place the wedge into its slot, and then she went to coax Topher out of his pod.
