Toxscreen report from the two dead FLIs that'd taken the unknown narcotic substance had traces of marijuana in their system. On a whim, we'd also examined the bud they had on them after-the-fact-- and found some odd levels of cytokinin on the intact samples we'd recovered, which we didn't think much of at first. 'Course, that was until one of our informants disclosed someone operating in New York-- a drug kingpin, of sorts. Oscar Hadley.
Hadley's got a finger on the illegal drug trade. Allegedly. Everything he does that we know of is purely above board-- you don't need to peddle weed on the streets, anymore, after all. He's got a license and a dispensary in Newark. Building looks shitty on the outside, but don't let that fool you. Guy's got security, and he's decently dangerous.
His mutation primarily allows him to control plant life-- rapidly accelerating growth through a high-density nutrient and hormone mist. Also seems like he has some sort of telekinetic influence over plantlife, or has some sort of pheromonal influence that drastically increases velocity of growth and movement due to the nutrient-dense air he can create. Which, of course... includes increased cell division markers. Like cytokinin.
It's a small lead, but given his connection to narcotics and the bud on the dead FLIs, he might have an idea of where the novel narcotics are being dealt from. Just need to work your way up the chain. He has an apartment on the fifth floor-- might be some information in there. Or, alternatively, go to his shop on the ground floor and get some answers directly. Your choice.
Just-- be discrete, whatever the choice. And don't kill him.
