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. It was then that Jenny discovered she also had the ability to teleport ''herself'' to other worlds.

=== Working for the Intelligence Taskforce === | |||
In the [[Universe (The Folly of Men)|home universe]] of [[Jenny Cornelius]], a particularly reckless version of [[Jenny Everywhere]] from 1960s [[London]], “Miss Laura Drake” worked in the P.R. office of the [[Intelligence Taskforce]]. Jenny often went through her when trying to get in touch with the Taskforce, nearly always causing Laura unlikely headaches such as how to hide a submarine in the [[West India Docks]]. Despite their tense working relationship, Jenny managed to talk Laura into going on dates with her on multiple occasions, although, owing to the time period, they had to be discreet about it. On one occasion, Jenny phoned Laura ''ahead'' of time to warn her that she was about to do [[Godzilla|something extremely outrageous]] and the Taskforce had better stand ready to “deny any involvement”. The two then agreed to meet up the next Friday at the Piccadilly Circus tube station and walk for a while until they found a restaurant that tickled their fancy.
