One version of Jenny was “very English” and went by the name of Jenny Cornelius.

([[PROSE]]: ''[[Morning After (novel)|Morning After]]'') | One version of Jenny was “very English” and went by the name of Jenny Cornelius. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Morning After (novel)|Morning After]]'') She was native to 1960s [[London]] in [[Universe (The Folly of Men)|one universe]], living about a thousand feet from [[Carnaby Street]]. She was a particularly reckless operator, but made an open secret of her teleporting powers, for which reason she was in the good books of the [[Intelligence Taskforce]], who sometimes asked for her unofficial help in dealing with delicate situations. As well as [[Captain Stewart]], with whom she also flirted (unsuccessfully), this was what put her in contact with [[Laura Drake#Working for the Intelligence Taskforce|Miss Laura Drake]], who worked in the P.R. office. 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, Captain Stewart asked for Jenny's help in getting some “[[SBS]] boys” back home safely after they ended up stuck in [[North Korea]]n waters with no way to leave without causing a serious diplomatic incident by revealing their presence. After thinking for a while, Jenny thought of a plan and decided to phone Laura ''ahead'' of time to warn her that she was about to do something extremely outrageous and the Taskforce had better stand ready to “deny any involvement”. Despite Laura's initial annoyance, 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. | |||
Jenny's plan turned out to involve rousing [[Godzilla|a giant atomic monster]] from the [[Sea of Japan]] to create a distraction. She made her way into the secret, secure Taskforce base in London where representatives of various Western nations were now panicking together, and implicitly confirmed her involvement to an aghast Captain Stewart, who recommended that she try and lie low for a while.
