3: Bom to Be Wired. It's the late 60s and Creighton drops out of society and discovers that as long as he takes LSD everyday he can keep his Splicer's affliction under control. Unfortunately, it has terrifying side effects - he starts splicing uncontrollably in medieval French and joins the Conservative party.
