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]]: ''[[Open Sourcing (short story)|Open Sourcing]]'') She was proudly aromantic and asexual. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Series of Queer Events (short story)|A Series of Queer Events]]'')

Jenny originally worked at a [[SatNav]] factory. Frustrated with her bosses, she had made up her mind to set fire to the factory when it exploded of its own accord. Bizarrely, the accident ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Open Sourcing (short story)|Open Sourcing]]'') 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 [[925th Universe|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]].

One day, Jenny reported to the [[M.F.S. office]] only to find the [[Red Interdimensional Telephone]] disconnected and her desk gone. [[The Man in Grey]] explained that he wanted her help screening new applicants as the [[Great Higher-Up]]s wished for the [[Multidimensional Finders Service]] to hire more people than just her. After harrowingly narrowing down the list of 193 applicants to just four — [[Talbot Molossus]], [[the Hydrant]], [[0000-8888888]], and [[Doctor Know-It-All]] — Jenny was crushed to learn that they were to staff a new M.F.S. office in [[Scotland]], rather than join her in [[Wales]]. However, the Man in Grey then also asked her opinion on the possibility of hiring an intern to help run the Welsh office. She enthusiastically agreed and ended up recommending hapless failed superhero [[Dynamite Thor]] for the post, feeling sorry for him after he had made multiple bungled attempts to get hired for the new positions throughout the day.

=== Pride Month with Peter ===
When [[the Man in Grey]] set up a [[Pride Month]] campaign, Jenny was initially irritated by the Man's inane proposal that the M.F.S. would, for the duration of Pride, allow callers to ask to know arbitrary people's sexualities. When the Man in Grey tasked [[Dynamite Thor]] with decorating the M.F.S. office, she gladly took the opportunity to get out of the office to help him shop for decorations. The two discovered [[Professor Helvetius's Convenient Pride Decorations Shop]], where they found a great number of flags and other decorations. When they brought them back to the office, however, they found the Man in Grey waiting for them, put in a very bad mood by his dismissal from the [[Interdimensional Pride Council]] over having tried to sell out to a number of unethical sponsors. He forbade Thor and Jenny from decorating the office at all, greatly distressing Thor.

Seeing how much his first official Pride Month meant to her new friend (who explained that he had only recently come out as asexual, even to himself), she clarified to him that she was herself aroace, and suggested that they use the stock of decorations to throw their own party, which they spent a week planning, using Helvetius's interdimensional, bigger-on-the-inside shop as a venue. The party lived up to Thor's hopes and he had a great time, as did Jenny Over-There, who spent most of it hanging around one of the multiple versions of [[Jenny Everywhere]] in attendance, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Series of Queer Events (short story)|A Series of Queer Events]]'') the [[38167th Universe]]'s [[Jenny Everywhere (38167th Universe)|Jenny]].

On or slightly before June 17th, 2022, Jenny received a phone call on the [[Red Interdimensional Telephone]] from a mysterious woman who was actually the [[38167th Universe]]'s [[Jenny Nowhere (38167th Universe)|Jenny Nowhere]], who asked her for the location of [[Pixie Pristine's crystal ball]] in order to steal it. After Jenny guilelessly gave it to her, Nowhere appeared in the M.F.S. office and kidnapped Over-There, taking her to [[Nowhere Island]] and dispassionately tying her to a tree for [[Jenny Everywhere (38167th Universe)|Jenny Everywhere]] and friends to find as, in turn, they made their way through the Island. After they untied her, Over-There was able to direct them to the [[Castle of Nowhere]] in the middle of the island, and to confirm [[Sophie Everytime (38167th Universe)|Sophie Everytime]]'s presence inside. After they made their way there and were captured by Nowhere, Over-There interrupted Nowhere's evil monologue, demanding explanations about the history she was alluding to, which Nowhere agreed to provide. After Nowhere was defeated, the heroes rowed out to sea from the Island to get out of the shift-cancelling era, and Jenny Everywhere then shifted everyone back home.

Reappearing in the darkened [[M.F.S. office]], Jenny was pleased to note that it was now 2 a.m. and she had missed an afternoon at work. After noticing absently that she had mistakenly brought Pixie Pristine's crystal ball with her, she almost literally tripped over [[Dynamite Thor]] and then was confronted with [[the Man in Grey]], thus discovering in short succession that both of them had no other home than the M.F.S. office and stayed there at night. While Thor was distraught to have hissed his chance to rescue his friend as a damse-in-distress, and insisted on giving her one of his “[[Thor Signaller]]s” (modified grenades), the Man in Grey half-heartedly scolded her before sending her home, insisting that she needed to be on her best behaviour the next day as the M.F.S. would be getting a visit from [[the Repairer of Reputations]].
