A few days later, Elizabeth Nowak offered to fund Brandon Bagman's tuition, in exchange for confidentiality about the fact that Issac Nowak had been affected by the Red Curse. Hours before the conference, Sebastian Walsh was offered a similar deal and took it. However, the laboratory investigation found zero evidence that either Red Curse victim had been a drug user.
Story 2: Shortly before his death, Isaac Nowak went to meet someone at the Steelside warehouse. A few days later, someone connected to the Steelside warehouse provoked Elizabeth Nowak into bribing Sebastian Walsh, who stopped the investigation into Isaac Nowak's death.

Story 1: With funding from the OPIG Corporation, Tesa Nevari ran the Harmony Foundation. They used stolen parts to build an artifact, believing it could take hatred and then give empathy, and, in doing so, would help people reach enlightenment. However, it actually did nothing. Due to Tesa Nevari's overspending, the Harmony Foundation building was repossessed.

Oriel Toussaint realized the artifact might work if it were rebuilt. Marie Westlake was in charge of its reconstruction, but delayed testing. Despite this, Eugene Marmot activated the new device, so was denied lab access.
Story 2: After learning about the Harmony Foundation, Eugene Marmot believed he had been punished because the rebuilt artifact had been set to give hatred. However, it was actually set to take heat, which froze a bird bath. During a board inspection, Eugene Marmot tried to set it to take hatred, but actually set it to give heat, which started a fire. Nathan Hoyle was impressed by Eugene Marmot's discovery, and rewarded him with a promotion.
