[QUOTE="MarkB, post: 8245835, member: 40176"] However, when he returned after the Blip and found that the project had been disbanded, there's no indication that he needed to recover any samples before he went to work for the Power Broker and produced his working serum within weeks. Which suggests that he'd already gone beyond just rebuilding previous versions of the formula, and was able, essentially, to create it from memory with appropriate raw materials.
