* Current theories are that the duplicate of Noah was reprogrammed by either [[The Black-eyed Army]] or a similarly aligned faction. The party responsible for the shared psychic interrogation of both of the Noahs and a number of others ([[Roger]] and [[Jay]]) also used drugs, suggesting a less supernatural influence was at work. Their rapid departure would also match the actions of [[The Black-eyed Army]], who would likely have moved using the [[Shadow Sphere]]'s portal abilities.
* It was confirmed by [[Ward Shaw (The Sword)]] that [[The Black-eyed Army]] was responsible for the psychic interrogation of both Noahs, and that they had often used the duplicate of Noah for his unique psychic and emotion sensing abilities.
=== Who is [[Laura Thompson]]? What happened to her? Is she dead or alive? ===
* [[Laura Thompson]] is or was the daughter of [[Conn Thompson]] and [[Cristina Thompson]]. From the various stories it is assumed that Laura died at some point in the past, which turned Cristina into something of a monster which resulted in the events of the engagement in [[The Ink]] on [[Earth 44]], and the creation of [[The Black-eyed Army]]. How Laura actually died, or whether she actually died remains unknown, however it is notable that [[Alek]] has a sister also called Laura. One theory at this point is that [[Alek]], along with his brother and sister may be the children of a parallel version of [[Conn Thompson]] and [[Cristina Thompson]], where their lives followed very different decision paths. There are a few other theories regarding [[Laura Thompson]], one notable one being that she was the lost child in the back paths found by [[Noah Fulmer]]'s duplicate while programmed with his hunter personality. Whether or not Laura is truly dead or alive remains to be seen, various versions of her have been encountered in both states.
* The primary [[Laura Thompson]] has been confirmed as dead, although the exact cause of her death isn't known. She was buried on one of the worlds near the outer rim where both [[Cristina Thompson]] and [[Conn Thompson]] were working, and it was here that the [[Preacher]] raided the graveyard, stealing both her body and soul. This resulted in [[Cristina Thompson]]'s ongoing vendetta against the [[Preacher]], leading to the events on [[Earth 44]]. There have however been many versions of Laura found on various universes, suggesting her existence is not unique to a single reality and other versions do exist, both living and dead.
