In June 2022, [[Prime Universe]] time, Laura completed the [[Mark I Draconic Exosuit]], a huge [[dragon]]-like, lava-spitting [[mechanoid]] which she hoped to pilot, adopting the alias “[[Doctor Draconic]]”, enabling her to fight [[Jenny Everywhere (38167th Universe)|Jenny Everywhere]] anonymously without harming her public persona. However, as she moved herself and the Exosuit via a [[transport beam]], the beam was intercepted by [[Jenny Nowhere (38167th Universe)|Jenny Nowhere]] and redirected to [[Nowhere Island]] in [[9768761143th Universe|another universe]]. Nowhere altered the mechanoid's programming so that it would drive itself while using the trapped pilot's life-force as a battery, and then arranged for the “Lava Drake” to appear in the middle of a boiling lake to [[Jenny Everywhere (38167th Universe)|Jenny Everywhere]], [[Lord Thymon]] and [[Jimmy Anytime (38167th Universe)|Jimmy Anytime]] as they made their way through the Island. | In June 2022, [[Prime Universe]] time, Laura completed the [[Mark I Draconic Exosuit]], a huge [[dragon]]-like, lava-spitting [[mechanoid]] which she hoped to pilot, adopting the alias “[[Doctor Draconic]]”, enabling her to fight [[Jenny Everywhere (38167th Universe)|Jenny Everywhere]] anonymously without harming her public persona.

Rather than harming Laura, however, Jenny realised the truth, solving the Lava Drake “riddle” and freeing Laura, whom she introduced to Thymon, as well as to the existence of her and Thymon's time-shifted daughter [[Sophie Everytime (38167th Universe)|Sophie Everytime]], whom Nowhere had also kidnapped and whom they were here to rescue. Laura was intrigued by the idea of a relationship with Thymon, but Jenny turned it down, as well as any suggestion of Laura having input into Sophie's upbringing, fearing her friend's tendency to blur the lines between loved ones and test subjects. The group then continued their journey to the centre of the Island, finding one more party-member, [[Jenny Over-There]], before they reached the [[Castle of Nowhere]], where they were promptly taken prisoner by Nowhere, who went over her history with Laura and Jenny for Over-There and Thymon's benefit before explaining that this whole scheme was her grand revenge for what Laura and Jenny had done to her. Having adapted the [[Dimensional Consciousness Maximizer]] into a [[Identity Dispersal System|new device]], she intended to turn Sophie into an incarnation of Jenny Nowhere by force. She then activated the machine, but it did not work as expected due to Sophie's self-confidence, bolstered by her parents' love throughout the day, far exceeding Nowhere's angst-ridden willpower. While Nowhere's mind took over Sophie's body, Sophie's own mind, instead of being erased, took possession of Nowhere's vacant one. | Rather than harming Laura, however, Jenny realised the truth, solving the Lava Drake “riddle” and freeing Laura, whom she introduced to Thymon, as well as to the existence of her and Thymon's time-shifted daughter [[Sophie Everytime (38167th Universe)|Sophie Everytime]], whom Nowhere had also kidnapped and whom they were here to rescue.

Breaking down crying due to the combination of her failure and of this new body's immature brain chemistry, Nowhere-in-Sophie's-body agreed to switch back after Sophie volunteered the knowledge her original name back to her (having, in her past but the relative future, been told by Jenny and Thymon, who remembered these events, to travel back in [[meta-time]] to find it out). She took off, gruffly admitting that Everywhere had “won this one”. Having realised that the whole of Nowhere Island emitted a shift-cancelling aura on its own due to being itself an incarnation of Nowhere, the group rowed out to sea from the Island to get out of the shift-cancelling era, and Jenny Everywhere then shifted everyone back home.
