Walternate 

The alternate universe, Secretary of Defense version of Walter Bishop deemed "Walternate". In the winter of 1985, his son Peter was kidnapped by our universe's Walter. Six months later, he ruined his marriage by obsessively trying to find Peter. In the interval 24 years, he became the Secretary of Defense, built mercury-blooded shapeshifters to ingratiate into our universe's society and found pieces of an ancient machine that destroys universes.

In 2010, he made contact with Peter and tried to convince him to use the machine (since according to an equally ancient drawing, the machine is attuned to Peter), but due to a budding relationship with Olivia Dunham (an FBI agent), he refused. Walternate then kidnapped Olivia and replaced her with her double, Fauxlivia. Peter, thinking that Fauxlivia was Olivia, started sleeping with her.

Fauxlivia was revealed to be an impostor, and returned to the other universe with a piece of the machine previously unknown and pregnant to Peter. She had a son, Henry. Walternate used Henry's blood to activate the machine, but it was turned off on this side. Because of this, Peter used the machine to destroy the other universe.

In the year 2026, Walternate attempted revenge on this universe, and managed to kill Olivia, but was stopped by Peter. 2026 Peter traveled back in time to 2011 to stop himself from destroying the other universe, but was erased from time. Walternate's 2011 fate is unknown.
Walternate's turned on the machine.

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
