So, having a look at it--this looks like a new facility. Where exactly, I can't tell. I don't know who this security guy is. My first instinct is that this is wherever Jakob has been recovering for these months and he's bargaining Pink Clouds for free rein during his recovery.
However, there are several problems with this.
1. We don't have definitive proof he's run across Pink Clouds before unless the formula preexisted whatever the hell was going on between Jacqui and the devious yet framed Tarbox. So, why would Jakob have that to trade?
2. We have no indication that...wait a second--what was he adjunct teaching in the '80s? Was it chemistry? Maybe Jakob has the paper credentials to indicate he could produce this stuff. And yet--
3. Almost everyone who's been around Jakob for an extended period of time sees him as powerful, toxic, dangerous, but a complete technical dipshit. Part of his family fortune is in the making of timepieces, but he couldn't make one if his life depended on it. He doesn't have the discipline to create PC, or adapt the crystals on his own. He's strictly a scavenger. So, what's going on here?
Could this be where they dumped Vik? I can't imagine Vik cogently bargaining his way out of a psych hold or gaining friends that fast, particularly in his current raving state. He DOES have the technical expertise and the malevolent desperation, but not the gravitas (yet).
There's one other possibility that I can think of off the top of my head--this might actually be the facility from which Q finagled a furlough. He could be playing both ends against the middle.
This is getting VERY interesting!
