Sam Bennett

## Background

Sam Bennett's normal family life changed when his daughter, Laura, went missing. There was much speculation on what happened to her, but in the end, he had to accept that his daughter was never coming back. His wife Lelah got a job in Kollok, WA working for Synchroneity. They moved and continued on with their lives, although the hurt remained.

Sam, too, would start working for Synchroneity, although not in a position as high as his wife. He remained blissfully ignorant at the true happenings at work and his wife's involvement. Still, he avoided his son's questions when asked about his work. This secrecy was lifted when Marcus showed an interest in Synchroneity and they allowed him to take an internship at the company. Unaware that this was a plan to lure his son into a trap, Sam was happy to work with his son.

And then Synchroneity, for the first time ever, allowed a school field trip to the Kollok facility. Sam gave the unruly teenagers a tour of the allowed areas. The Stone Masons interrupted the tour -- a planned distraction by Billy Baker -- revealing the darkness within people and their association with Phobos. To Marcus' surprise and joy, his father didn't have this darkness. His son, and several other students, disappeared in the confusion. By the time they resurfaced, the real disaster struck. Gravity seemed to pull people to the floor, followed by an earthquake.

Sam survived the disaster, but he and his wife lost their jobs soon after. Unknowingly to him, his son was involved in both the disaster and the loss of his job. The disasters didn't stop here, however. With the appearance of super-powered teens came Lexi Noff, who destroyed half of Kollok. Marcus convinced his parents to go to a temporary FBI headquarters outside of town for their own safety. Marcus would catch up with them there later, where he confronted his mother and her actions. Lelah explained everything she had done -- how she had entered into a contract to bring Laura back to life by cloning Marcus and stealing an ego from another universe to implant in the body -- to the horror of both Laura and Sam. Marcus took away his mother's memories, so that she didn't remember all her horrible acts, and erased the details from his father's mind as well.

Marcus didn't take Laura's memories, and she ran off due to the revelations. Unsure why Laura had run off, Sam chased after her. He didn't know about the monsters pursuing the Kollok monsters. He never suspected something would see him and recognize a connection to Marcus. He never suspected that he would be murdered before finding his daughter.

But he did.

### Notes to return to:

The monsters pursuing the group in KOllOK 1991 episode 20 have Sam's face and voice. The voice of Sam is how Marcus was lured into the basement at Skye's house, where he discovered Skye's parents bleeding out.

These monsters would pursue Em Pegg after she had stopped time, showing themselves to be immune to the effects of the void. Two of them were eventually put down by the explosion of Em Pegg's house.

When Skye Hawkins snapped back to her original time, this created a new version of Prime, Prime B. In this universe, Kollok was never destroyed. Sam and Lelah were still fired from Synchroneity. Laura was still released into the world. And now, Marcus was the CEO of Synchroneity, refusing to talk to his family.
