Title: Secrets of the Fringe Part 5
Timeline: Season 2, after Bishops Revival 2:14
Characters: The whole FRINGE cast
Summary: walter makes sense of the drugs
Disclaimer: I own them, in my dreams, no seriously I do, I get to analize them, take them apart, it's great fun.
However in real life someone else has the rights and gets all the money, not that I mind. As long as they don't sue me for playing.
Notes: A great amount of research went into this chapter of the fic. All of the drugs mentioned here are either banned as stated, and were availible when Cortexiphan was developed. All of the drugs mentioned, are the component names which Walter would know drugs to be. Please don't try to recreate any of these drug coctails, chanes are you'll kill yourself, that especially goes for the Cortexophen.
Beta: Thanx again Chickideeee. for making sense of the characters.
A/N my story and it is Cortexophen okay.
Cor-ten-zi-din-2dipphen-cent.
Astrid read over Peter's shoulder.
"How can this be the recipe for Cortexophen?"
"Peter you should know that when one develops a drug, the name of the drug is made up out of all the components used to create it. That way it would describe to some extend the action of the drug, Belly to some extend hid some of the components when naming Cortexophen, that way it could not be recreated without the list."
"Walter this is not a list, at best it's gibberish." Peter replied waving the paper in front of Walter.
"That was the intention, an average person should not be able to understand it."
"A qualified chemist could not make sense of this."
"That was exactly the point." Walter replied, agitated. "Only a qualified chemist could produce a drug as complex as Cortexophen."
"Walter what are the drugs?" Olivia asked, pen poised.
"Cortodoxone; Tenex which is the brand name for Guanfacine; Zimelidine; Isosorbide dinitrate; 2-diphenylmethylpiperidine, or more known as Desoxypipradrol; and Centrophenoxine."
Olivia moved to write, but just looked at Walter instead.
"Could you write them down?" Olivia said handing him her note pad and a pen.
"Olivia your not thinking of…" Peter stepped in, watching Walter. "No way Walter, you are not making that stuff and giving it to Olivia!" He shouted.
"Peter I'm not even sure I could make it, knowing what went into it is only part of it. Combining the drugs is another matter."
"This is crazy." Peter said, moving away from the group and falling into a chair.
"William Bell gave me the list for a reason, I don't know why, but for some reason we may need Cortexophen and the activator drug, why else would William have pulled me across dimentions again?"
"Olivia some of those drugs are banned, they're not even available any more."
"William said Nina Sharp will help with the drugs we need, I need to go to New York."
"I'm going with-" Peter started. Getting up again
"What?" She snapped back.
"Your not going to New York alone, not with your current record of events in that city."
"Walter please, on the list, and add the drugs you would need for the activator." Olivia said as she pulled out her phone, moving towards the stairs of the lab. She dialled Broyles quickly, pushing away a concerned Peter.
"Good day Sir."
"Dunham. Have we had any progress on the case?"
"We've established that the drug is a derivative of a drug believed to activate Cortexophen subjects." Olivia stole a look at Peter, who was standing at the bottom of the stairs, arms crossed, tapping his foot lightly.
"How would that help if it would kill the recipient?"
"The drug, even the altered one, would not kill the recipient- it is the interaction with other drugs in the system that caused the deaths"
"And the witness in the hospital?"
"He had traces of the drug, however he had not consumed any medication containing organic nitrates, thefore was not adversely effected."
"And the other side effects that were exibited."
"The drug is seemingly designed to act as a male sexual stimulant or performance enhancer."
"And Dr Bishop?" Olivia turned to look for Walter, tinkering away somewhere it the depths of the lab.
"Walter believes that the drug if altered slightly could be the same as the activator drug, he's going to try and recreate it."
"We would still need a sample of the drug that is in circulation as well, for comparison."
"Yes sir I understand, I'm on my way to see Nina Sharp."
"Why do you need to see her?
"William Bell told me she could assist with whatever drugs we may need."
"When was this?"
"Yesterday."
"Let me understand this- you spoke to William Bell yesterday?"
" Yes"
"How?" His voice was becoming tighter by the moment.
"Let's just say I would not make a habit of cross dimentional travel."
"Are you alright?"
"Walter gave me some drugs when I returned, and they seem to be working."
"Dunham, I don't like you going to New York on your own."
"Peter is going with me sir." Peter looked up towards her at the mention of his name, head cocked slightly to the side.
"Good work Dunham. Keep me informed."
Olivia ended the call, and was dialing Massive Dynamic as Peter returned her notebook to her.
"Good day, could you put me through to Nina Sharp?" She requested as she took it from Peter.
"It's Olivia Dunham." She said, scanning the list before snapping the notebook shut and putting it away.
Olivia waited a few moments before she was put through to Nina.
"Agent Dunham, I had not expected to hear from you so soon."
"Ms Sharp"
"To what do I owe the pleasure?"
"I'm on my way to see you." Olivia lead Peter out the door, waving a silent goodbye to Astrid and Walter.
"Should I arrange some lunch for us?" She straightened her coat collar with on hand, fishing out her car keys.
"That would not be needed, the visit is business."
"I look forward to seeing you Agent Dunham"
With that the call was ended.
When Peter and Olivia arrived at Massive Dynamic, they were swiftly shown to Nina's office.
"Agent Dunham, Peter Bishop please sit down." Nina said directing them to the chairs.
"Ms Sharp."
"And with what could I be of assistance with today?"
"Before we start, I would just like to know something?"
"By all means Agent Dunham If I could be of assistance." She smiled sweetly.
"How did you know that I had had another meeting with William Bell?"
Nina froze, and looked from Olivia to Peter then back to Olivia.
"Dr Bell had contacted me, to inform me of his intention of meeting with you. He felt there were a number of things you needed to know, and that were important that he pass on to you. I had not realized that you may have in fact already spoken to him when I called you, my intent had been to warn you of his intent."
Olivia looked over at Peter quickly, before turning back to Nina.
"What do you know of the drug that has recently caused the deaths of five men?"
"I understand it to be the work of a rebel organisation."
"We have derived that it may be the work of ZFT."
"I had thought they had been shut down when you arrested Conrad."
"It appears not."
"Why are you here Agent Dunham?" Nina placed her arms on the desk, leaning towards them both.
"William Bell told me that you would help me with certain drugs, when we required them."
" And what may these drugs be, Agent Dunham?"
Olivia took out her notepad, opened it, and handed it to Nina.
Nina skimmed through the list quickly.
"You do realize that some of these drugs are no longer available..." Nina said looking up at Olivia.
"Then why would William send me to you?"
"You do realize Agent Dunham, that were it to get out that Massive Dynamic has stocks of these drugs, there could be serious repercussions for us. Some of these drugs have not been in circulation for over twenty years."
Olivia just stared silently.
"I trust you discretion in the matter."
"Always."
Nina picked up a glass-like device, tapping on what appeared to be the screen. Her assistant arrived, halting next to Peter.
"Danielle, there is a parcel for Agent Dunham at the Pharmacy division, please would you get it." She then turned to Olivia, "You must understand Agent Dunham that I am not entirely comfortable with letting these drugs off the premises. I would much rather have given you access to one of our laboratories here."
"Walter does not always work too well outside of his lab" Peter commented.
"Yes, with his past experience I could understand that he would feel uncomfortable in a high-tech environment." Nina replied.
"Would you like for something to drink whilst we wait for Danielle?" Nina offered.
"No thank you we are fine." Peter smiled politely.
"So Agent Dunham, did Dr Bell disclose any other information to you?"
Olivia heard movement behind her as Danielle reappeared, bearing what appeared to be a black parcel.
"Ah yes thank you Danielle." Nina replied as Danielle passed her what Olivia realized looked like a CD organizer.
Nina zipped open the organizer to reveal ten clearly marked twenty cc vials
"Here you go, Agent Dunham." Nina passed her the drugs, after closing the organizer again. " The thermal properties built into the packaging will keep the drugs at the right temperature for two hours"
"Thank you." Olivia said as she took the organizer and handed it to Peter, who took it and placed it inside his jacket
"Agent Dunham" Nina called her attention "take this with you" she handed Olivia a folder
Olivia took it and opened it
"it's empty" she stated looking at the blank pages in the folder
"It's for appearances, It would look suspicious if you left here with nothing
Oliva and Peter left Massive Dynamic. Unbeknown to them, the observer noted their departure.
After the departure of Olivia and Peter, Nina seated herself in front of her trans-dimensional communicator.
William
Olivia has collected the drugs; I can't help but think it careless to allow Walter to create those drugs outside of our labs, not to mention the possibility of the end products being stolen.
Olivia did not seem greatly effected by the second trans dimensional jump, your theory on shorter periods may therefore be accurate.
Later her reply came through.
Nina
I understand your concern, however we both know that Walter would be under observation by those other than the observers. His movement to labs at Massive Dynamic would alert them. He is safest working in the Harvard lab where he would not draw too much attention to himself, Peter or Olivia.
I am pleased to hear Olivia's return went without too many complications.
