Character Evolution
Thomas Walker is one of the four founders of World Corp. but leaves the company after only two years when his increasingly bizarre behavior makes it difficult for his partners to continue working with him. Thomas starts meditating and experimenting with drugs, in which he sees opportunity rather than risk, as well as cycling around the office. In an interview with The Science Chronicle he says: “I mount my bike and ask questions. When I finish riding, I have answers, and I find that rather wonderful.”

After a series of these scurrilous interviews, Thomas vanishes completely, but there have been rumors of Walker being part of, if not the instigator, or the inspiration for the “science punks” – gangs performing dangerous and illegal experiments.
