About
Mark Young is a Massive Dynamic employee who died shortly after giving a presentation in a boardroom on the 33rd floor of the Massive Dynamic building in New York, when he jumped through a window and fell on a parked car on the street below (Bell Plaza). Young was trying to escape a swarm of butterflies attacking him and cutting his skin. It was later discovered by Walter that even if his body was covered with cuts, he was likely hallucinating in response to an altered potent psychoactive, fear inducing venom, secreted by the skin of a toad. Walter concluded from the high concentration of venom found in the brain that Young was murdered. His brain caused the cuts to appear on his body in reponse to the convincing hallucination.
George Morales, a black market trafficker, claimed in The Dreamscape that Young was killed by Massive Dynamic because he was selling sensitive information about the company.
While searching Young's appartment after his death, Olivia finds an Oceanic Air plane ticket from New York to Omaha for the 22rd of December. In his day planner she also finds a page with "MONARCH" written on it and a Post-it with the name Dr Peretti. "MONARCH" was later found to represent a phone number to reach George Morales. Also seen in his apartment is a collection of butterflies displayed in a frame on the wall.
