I suspect the severance program at the Dollhouse may be of a permanent nature.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yeah, he appears to be the only person who can do the science, which makes him indispensable. If he leaves, the operation shuts down, and I don't think Ms. DeWitt would be happy with that.
He seems very young, though, which makes me wonder how long the operation has been around. If Alpha really was Patient Zero, and they're up to Sierra by now...I still don't know what the timeline would be. It needs to have existed long enough for it to gain notoriety and for Agent Helo to have been obsessed over it.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I would swear that in the pilot when the FBI guys were giving Helo grief over his investigation yielding nothing, they said 14 years. That can't be right, can it?

That can't be right! Topher would have been just a kid!
Fran Kranz is two years younger than I am. I haven't made any neuropsychological breakthroughs yet. GEEZ.

Well, perhaps there was someone running the technology before Topher...

I get the impression that he invented it, though. Especially since he created Alpha. If we take the naming system as a clue, I think this is the first generation of the project. It's supposed to be relatively new. I don't know how they got their clients, though.

I was going to say -- we weren't told he invented it, were we?
Anyway, 14 years seems insanely long, even by X-Files' standards.
Maybe it was *4* years?

Maybe he's been implanted with the personality of the actual creator, and he's actually an Active too.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I wish they'd plant a personality in Adelle. You know, other than Generic Evil British Person.
