Because [[SatNav]]s sometimes pick up information from other universes, “which is why SatNavs sometimes tell you to drive off the road”, Jenny somehow gained a similar ability after her accident. She had merely to concentrate on the subject of search to get a mental image of it and its current surroundings, as well as abstract knowledge of where they were located. When she was awake, her brain more generally “buzzed with coordinates for anything and everything”. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Tribulations of Jenny Over-There (short story)|The Tribulations of Jenny Over-There]]'') At the [[M.F.S. office]], she had access to an easily-used, portable [[teleportation ray]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Open Sourcing (short story)|Open Sourcing]]'') She had some degree of [[Fourth Wall Awareness]].

Also due to the SatNav chips embedded in her brain, she could, to a point, “speak any language”, although she had to wait for machine translations to occur to her back and forth in a synthetic voice only she could hear, before repeating the foreign-language answer phonetically — making cross-language conversations quite challenging at any length.

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]]'') which left the building to become deserted, gaining the nickname of “[[the Abandoned, Possibly Haunted SatNav Factory]]”, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lovie Dovie Stuff (short story)|Lovie Dovie Stuff]]'') 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. | Jenny originally worked at a [[SatNav]] factory.

As an unpleasant side-effect of the accident, she also began to hear a faint, electronic hissing sound permanently. | ||
She first noticed her powers while in hospital after the accident, when she was able to tell a [[Nurse (The Tribulations of Jenny Over-There)|nurse]] where she'd put down her glasses despite not having seen her do so. The nurse, however, thought nothing of it. Her powers only attracted public notice a short while later when “a small boy got trapped by a fallen tree in the middle of a field” and she provided the coordinates which made his rescue possible. Among the people who contacted her were [[Our Majesty's Spiffing Containment Facility|O.M.S.C.F.]], [[Kablamazon]] affiliates, her [[Jenny Over-There's nan|own nan]] whom she had previously believed to be dead — and, finally, [[The Man in Grey (925th Universe)|the Man in Grey]], who asked if she’d like to participate in a study of her powers, and was the only petitioner to promise monetary compensation. 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 (925th Universe)|Multidimensional Finders Service]].
