 By the age of 19, Jenny had become a history major at the prestigious [[Neptunian Orbital University]]. One day, she discovered she had the ability to summon objects from thin air. After a few weeks of keeping it a secret, she decided to talk to a physics engineering major about it. Looking over some of the students' [[holonet]] portfolios, she selected [[Laura Drake#At the Neptunian Orbital University|Laura Drake]] because her designs had a spark of personality and eccentricity lacking in the more conventional creations of her classmates. Laura reluctantly agreed to help after Jenny proved she wasn't pranking her, but when a failed attempt to scan Jenny instead gave increased power to her summonings, the two had to deal with [[the Creeping Shadow]], a monster from [[Universe B (Extradimensional Experiments)|another reality]], with the help of [[#Gwenivar, Wanderer in Everywhere|an alternative Jenny]]. Laura's “failed” photon-freezer, and the specific ways in which she'd built it “wrong”, proved key to defeating the monster, together with her Jenny's encouragements. After saying goodbye to the other Jenny, Laura and Jennifer stayed up looking at the stars, already bonding. It was then that Jenny discovered she also had the ability to teleport ''herself'' to other worlds. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Extradimensional Experiments (short story)|Extradimensional Experiments]]'')
-=== At the Neptunian Orbital University ===
-In [[Universe A (Extradimensional Experiments)|one universe]], Laura was born in an era where [[human]]ity was expanding into the rest of the [[Solar System]], under the aegis of the ludicrously influential [[Altern Corporation]]. Laura was a precocious child, and, when she was two, her [[Laura Drake's grandmother (Extradimensional Experiments)|grandmother]] read her old comics like ''[[Asterix]]'', also teaching her the word “[[wiktionary:grawlix|grawlix]]”. She also gave Laura a plush alligator with a factory defect giving it extra eyes and arms, which the girl decided to name “Grawlix”, misspelling it as “[[Lord Grallyx#Laura's plush toy|Grallyx]]”. Her family also kept a pet [[SmartFerret]].
-Eventually, Laura became a physics engineering major at the prestigious [[Neptunian Orbital University]]. She struggled with self-confidence issues, being unable to work to specifications and instead doing all her best works on eccentric side-projects like the [[cloud solidifier]], the [[turbo-toasting ray]] and the [[photon phonograph]]. One day, while she was trying to get a [[photon-freezer]] to work, she was visited by a history major she barely knew (though they had [[neuroseismology]] together), [[Jenny Everywhere#Jennifer Everstar|Jennifer “Jenny” Everstar]]. Jenny quickly showed her that over the last few weeks, she'd developed the ability to spontaneously summon objects from other realities, and the two began investigating her gift in secret. When a failed attempt to scan Jenny instead gave increased power to her summonings, the two had to deal with [[the Creeping Shadow]], a monster from [[Universe B (Extradimensional Experiments)|another reality]], with the help of [[Jenny Everywhere#Gwenivar, Wanderer in Everywhere|an alternative Jenny]]. Laura's “failed” photon-freezer, and the specific ways in which she'd built it “wrong”, proved key to defeating the monster, together with her Jenny's encouragements. After saying goodbye to the other Jenny, Laura and Jennifer stayed up looking at the stars, already bonding.
