Jenny Over-There was a woman from one universe who accidentally gained the ability to know where any item or person in the Multiverse was located. Discovered by the Man in Grey, she became the sole employee of his “Multidimensional Finders Service”.
Description
Personality
Jenny Over-There was not very happy with her lot in life, often dreaming of the simpler life she might have had if she'd never gained her powers. She found her rather mundane workdays stifling and held little fondness for the Man in Grey. She seemed to share Jenny Everywhere's taste for toast. (PROSE: The Tribulations of Jenny Over-There)
Powers & abilities
Because SatNavs sometimes pick up information from other universes, “which is why SatNavs sometimes tell you to drive off the road”, Jenny somehow gained a similar ability after her accident. She had merely to concentrate on the subject of search to get a mental image of it and its current surroundings, as well as abstract knowledge of where they were located. When she was awake, her brain more generally “buzzed with coordinates for anything and everything”. (PROSE: The Tribulations of Jenny Over-There)
Biography
Gaining her powers
At some point, Jenny got into an “accident” at a SatNav factory that conferred upon her an “inhuman sense of direction”, her brain now able to instinctively know the location of any given item or person in the Multiverse — although, at first, she did not realise she could also tap into universes and merely thought she knew where everything in her world was. Soon after, she was approached by the Man in Grey, who asked if she’d like to participate in a study of her powers. After realising her powers were multidimensional in nature, he offered her a job which paid £5000, as the sole employee of the Multidimensional Finders Service. (PROSE: The Tribulations of Jenny Over-There)
Working for the M.F.S.
As the key employee of the M.F.S., Jenny's task was to take calls on the Red Interdimensional Telephone for a whole work day, telling callers from across the Multiverse (and across all walks of life) how to find whatever they wanted found. She was not supposed to refuse any requests, save for demands to know the location of Jenny Everywhere, due to such a question being inherently meaningless.
One otherwise-typical day saw her, in-between calls, getting a personal visit from Doctor Omega, who dismantled her toaster to “borrow its thermal reactor. Jenny Over-There ordered a replacement toaster at Kablamazon and was surprised when, near the end of the work-day, it was delivered by a version of Jenny Everywhere, who had briefly called her earlier in the day with “Jenny O.” realising who she was talking to. Just before going home, “Jenny O.” decided to leave a call about Jenny Everywhere unanswered even though she was now able to answer it. (PROSE: The Tribulations of Jenny Over-There)
Behind the scenes
