MUSE INFORMATION : KRIA OF KARN

BIRTH NAME : [ REDACTED ] ALIAS : Kria of Karn TITLE(S) : Sister, The Priestess, the Witch - one was more often used when she first joined the fight in the Last Great Time War, the latter often used toward the end / afterward, sometimes the Lost Sister of Karn AGE : 411 + PLACE OF BIRTH : A Gallifreyan defensive outpost known for sudden outbreaks of space-time rifts SPECIES : Gallifreyan AFFILIATION(S) : The Sisterhood of Karn, the Time Lords of Gallifrey ( only out of necessity )

OCCUPATION : Free agent of the Last Great Time War, if such a thing can be an occupation - after that, well. It’s much harder to say. EDUCATION : The standard fare for the lower classes of Gallifreyan society - read, write, basic quantum mechanics. LANGUAGE(S) : Gallifreyan FAITH : Not so much a faith but a way of life - she follows the teachings of the Sisterhood of Karn, a remnant of the Pythias MEDICAL CONDITION(S) : Her precognition, mentioned below, often present as absence seizures. She tends to become unresponsive ABILITIES : Immediate precognition - she can see the future five minutes from now - she later develops this ability into longer and longer increments of time. Telekinesis. Telepathy, usually only able to be induced by touch. Unbeknownst to Kria for awhile is that she does have the ability to regenerate due to her family's exposure to the time rifts, and hers in particular. She develops other abilities over the course of the war and through her study of old Pythian texts like the ability to step through time in a way that looks to the naked eye like teleporting, as well as a method to siphon time from a being, literally rapidly aging them.

MOTHER : Cleo, a scientist studying the multiple time rifts prone to opening on their FATHER : Sidon, a simple guardsman tasked with guarding one of the more important open time rifts, killed by the Daleks in the siege of the Outpost SIBLING(S) : Drea, her older sister - killed by the Daleks in the siege of the Outpost, presumably after shoving Kria into the ship. CHILDREN : None SPOUSE : None OTHER : Ohila, her mentor and mother-figure in the Sisterhood, the High Priestess

FACECLAIM : Isabelle Connelly ( Kria 1 ), Kasia Smutniak ( Kria 1, mid / end of Time War )

Born on a Gallifreyan outpost known for its higher incidents of space-time rifts, she and her sister found one and instead of reporting it to be closed and monitored, kept it to themselves and would often spend their time looking into it.

When the Time War broke out, the Daleks attacked the outpost. Kria barely managed an escape in a barely operational ship.

The ship crashed on the planet Karn among other wreckage, and Kria was fished out by sisters of the Sisterhood of Karn, a remnant order of the Pythias of Gallifrey known for their Elixir of Life and other powers.

As a precog, she found community among the Sisterhood. They raised her. Nurtured her. Trained her, and helped her exert some control over her visions. She still harbored a desire for revenge, for retribution, but attempted to look beyond the past as instructed and settle into the Sisterhood that had become her home.

With the Time War worsening, however, Kria’s visions of the immediate future became bloody, burning. They had no filter, they were not bound to her location - she saw in real time the moments before cities burned, children died. It was having an … effect on her. Some might argue it was slowly driving her insane. Or making her soft in a way unfitting of a Sister or a Time Lord.

Her visions of the immediate future were often used by the Sisterhood to determine actions they would or would not take for their preservation. When the Doctor was about to crash on Karn with Cass, Kria was the one to sound the alarm.

Along with several other of her sisters, she mixed the requisite Elixirs of Life for the Doctor to choose from. She also took part in the ritual of raising him from the dead. The Elixir that she held was marked Sorcerer.

She didn’t interact with him while he recovered after his regeneration on Karn, however just before his departure she had a vision of his death. Having had it impressed on her that he was, apparently, the key to end the time war, she stowed away on his TARDIS in an attempt to change the immediate future and keep him from dying.

( Here is where a super cool adventure with the War Doctor goes someday. Obligatory I won’t force this on anyone, but I do think they meet intermittently throughout the Time War. )

They split up, and Kria began seeking out new methods of fighting the Daleks, believing that reliance on logic and reason would only extend the deadlock and the suffering. She began traveling among the fronts of the Time War, usually to settlements and places like the one she’d grown up in, or neither Gallifreyan or Dalek planets, innocents who’d been drawn in - or following old stories of the Pythias of old.

Some refer to her as the Priestess, more of a nod to her fashion sense and reliance on spirituality than any acknowledgement of the oddity of a Sister of Karn off her world.

Using her visions and telekinetic powers, she often assisted forces or plunged into the depths of strongholds on doomed rescue missions.

The Sisterhood of Karn also disappears after she leaves it - she ignores a summons to return, believing it is more critical she remain involved. Not for the sake of the Time Lords, but for the sake of her revenge - and for the sake of stopping the endless visions of blood and death and burning.

( Here’s where more stuff about the Time War goes. She does some obscene stuff in here, especially as things grow more desperate. She exposes herself more to the Time Vortex and seeks out practices not used since the early Pythian days etc etc )

One of her more infamous works is to siphon the time from soldiers she’d worked with to use in one giant force against some attacking Daleks. She was also known for using mind control in some instances to keep a given immediate future she’d seen on track.

Toward the end of the Time War, Kria is known more often as the Witch. Sometimes the Sorceress. Always a bit derogatory.

Before the Doctor goes to destroy the Time Lords and the Daleks and end the Time War, Kria has a vision of the incoming devastation. And then a conflicting one, of Gallifrey being saved. The two begin to fight in her mind, swinging back and forth.

Determining she must only have five minutes before whatever happens happens, Kria rips open a fissure and manages to slip away before the planet is destroyed. Or saved. Or destroyed. Or saved?

After jumping into the Vortex, Kria was split up among time and space. Whether or not she knew this was going to happen to her will be left ambiguous. Each Split is in its own separate verse, listed below.

While I hesitate to say every Split has the memories of the others, sometimes one will seem to remember something that happened to another, etc.

The Splits also all have a dependence on "time energy" for lack of a more sophisticated name on it, in that they need some supply of it to remain . . . well. They can siphon this from people, which usually presents as aging them considerably, though some species react differently and turn to stone or ash.

VERSES.

SISTER : Set Pre-Split. Having fled an attack by the Daleks, a nameless girl crashed on the planet of Karn and grew up to be Sister Kria. Her precognition is both limited but still yet useful, and she spends her days with her other sisters.

TIME WAR : Set Pre-Split. After stowing away on the War Doctor's TARDIS and saving his life during [ redacted adventure ], Kria officially joins the Time War as a free agent. The Sisterhood of Karn disappears along with their planet and she is alone. Often at the edge of larger battles, she is known for slipping in and through, using her powers to divert and distract. Later, though, as she learns ancient Pythian techniques her role takes on something more dark. The war wears on, and it wears on her. She is more willing to do things she wouldn't have done, before. She is sometimes called the Priestess, sometimes the Witch.

LOOP : Post-Split. This version of Kria ended up on Earth and put an entire village inside of a time loop in order to keep them safe in a way that some other village, lightyears away, could never be again. To survive, she lures in outsiders and siphons some of their energy before placing them, too, in the loop.

RESURRECTION : Post-Split. This version of Kria is attempting to avoid the Time War altogether by attempting to either resurrect or restore the Age of the Pythias. Posing as a mysterious, wealthy intergalactic benefactor, she has lured archaeologists and enthusiasts alike to a lone, barren planet where the first Pythia's remains were interred. Biding her time, she plans to use the energies she siphons from these groups along with an ancient ritual to turn back the clock and raise the Pythia, hoping her ancient knowledge and power will prevent the Time War.

MOTHER : Post-Split. This one's a little crazy but I enjoy the idea of it. This Kria, flung to almost the very beginning of the universe, siphons the time out of the locals to survive and try to get to somewhere better inhabited. In her weakness or a misguided attempt at mercy, she didn't drain them all but left just a little bit. Many of them turned to stone. Thus, Angels. They crave the same time energy she siphoned from them but are . . . "kinder" than she was, allowing their victims to live a life. She's maybe trapped on the planetoid with them and is trying to leave.

MUSE INFORMATION : T'RAYA.

NAME : T'Raya of Vulcan TITLE(S) : Though not a real title, many of her people will refer to her as v'tosh ka'tur  - Vulcan without logic - just as much as they use her name. Usually with an air of superior contempt. GENDER : Cis Woman ( She/Her ) SEXUALITY : Bisexual AGE : 42 - 50+ DATE OF BIRTH : 2217 PLACE OF BIRTH : In the region of Tat'Sahr, in a nearby medical center to her family's farm SPECIES : Vulcan

OCCUPATION : Defense Counselor, as well as an activist for so-called v'tosh ka'tur living in Vulcan society. EDUCATION : A standard Vulcan child's education, followed by further education at a Vulcan university where she studied philosphy, intergalactic diplomacy, and political science. LANGUAGE(S) : Vulcan FAITH : She believes in no deities, but is highly interested in the alternative philosophies to those of Surak, such as Tu-Jarok in particular. She does not practice the Way of Surak explicitly.

MOTHER : Commander Alieth, a Starfleet Officer and Chief Science Officer of the USS T'Plana-Hath, a casualty of the Battle of Binary Stars ( 2179-2256 ) FATHER : Selar, an agricultural scientist and farmer. ( 2175 - ) SIBLING(S) : Avarak, a professor at the Vulcan Science Institute, estranged ( 2210 - ) CHILDREN : N/A SPOUSE : N/A OTHER : N/A FACECLAIM : Sonoya Mizuno

─ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─

Raised on a farm in the agricultural region of Tat'Sahr on the planet Vulcan, she grew interested in ancient philosophies and texts as she grew up listening to stories from her father.

Educated first in philosophy, she pursued further education in diplomatic relations and political science before joining the Federation Diplomatic Corps.

She was serving in the FDS when the Federation-Klingon War broke out, and received word while in a meeting that her mother had been killed in combat during the Battle of Binary Stars. She returned to Vulcan to help her older brother and father with funeral arrangements and took a further leave of absence when she found it . . . difficult to maintain control.

During her leave, she became deeper entangled in the teachings of other philosophers from Surak's time - Nirak, Jarok, T'Mor - and exploring them in thought exercise and light debates with her elder brother.

Ultimately, she came to understand that the total suppression of emotion was not for her and began to attempt to live in harmony with her emotions, pursuing Tu-Jarok. She went out into the desert and attempted to commune with her Inner Chorus. Her first attempt failed. As did her second.

T’Raya eventually returned to her duties as part of the Federation Diplomatic Corps during the Federation-Klingon war, but resigned her position and turned back to Vulcan. She began working as an aide in government.

While living in the capitol, she also began attending somewhat underground parties for those Vulcans who found that the teachings of Surak did not meet their needs.

She made her third attempt at mastering her Inner Chorus this time and was not successful.

Her decision to run for government came from these meetings, as it strengthened her resolve that there should be as much diversity in governance as in philosophy, as in the needs of the Vulcan people, as professed in the IDIC.

She began speaking out in favor of alternative philosophy and launched her campaign, which has seen her become a target for so-called logic extremists. On occasion she is called back to the FDS to assist with cases she left behind - or she pulls some strings, trying to advocate for the silent but strong v’tosh ko’tur minority on Vulcan.

MUSE INFORMATION : RISSA ASIVER.

NAME : Nerissa Paella Asiver TITLE(S): Lieutenant (USS Enterprise-D, 2364 - 2368), Lieutenant-Commander (USS Mercator, 2369-), Heir to the Seventh House of Betazed GENDER : Cis Woman (She/Her) SEXUALITY : Lesbian AGE : 27 - 32+ DATE OF BIRTH : 2337 PLACE OF BIRTH : Her family's estate with a perfect view of the Opal Sea, on the planet Betazed SPECIES : Betazoid

OCCUPATION : Astronomer, sometimes listed specifically as a Stellar Cartographer EDUCATION : She studied astrophysics at the University of Betazed through a correspondence program before entering Starfleet Academy where she focused on stellar cartography and engineering LANGUAGE(S) : Betazed, Betazed Sign Language, Federation Standard Sign Language, English - in that order FAITH : She is . . . uncertain.

The only daughter of the esteemed lady of the Seventh House, Rissa enjoyed a life of relative privilege and indulgence from a young age. She wanted for nothing, she attended council meetings with her mother. In short, she was loved.

Things took a turn, however, when Rissa's peers began to manifest their telepathic and empathic powers - but she did not. At first it was thought she might simply be a late bloomer, but then the time continued to pass and she could not so much as catch an emotion.

Her mother began with old wives' tales said to induce it. Then came the trips to temples, to wise-women. Then to doctors, to experts that claimed they could study something new. There were tests, some of them painful, and attempts at treatments.

After all of this, there were punishments. For a whole year, her mother refused to speak with her - insisting that it would force her to use telepathy rather than speech. Rissa will often joke it was one of the most peaceful times of her life.

During her adolescence, especially in those moments where she was stuck in treatment, Rissa sought her solace in the stars. She would spend hours staring out the window at them. A nurse recommended she read a book about astronomy once, and the rest was history.

She earned her bachelor's degree online through the university of Betazed and secretly applied to Starfleet against her mother's wishes. When the time came for her to leave, the fight was . . . loud.

Upon graduation from Starfleet academy, Rissa served first on a research station in partnership with the Vulcan Science Corps. After this, she was assigned to the Enterprise - D, and later after the wormhole opens, to the Mercator, a ship mapping the Gamma Quadrant.

MUSE INFORMATION : LEYA TURI.

NAME : Leyara Turi NICKNAME(S) : Leya - her grandmother used to call her LeLe, but she won't encourage that from others. TITLE(S): Captain ( 2258 - ), Commander ( 2255 - 2257 ), Lieutenant-Commander ( 2250 - 2254), Lieutenant ( 2247 - 2250 ), Ensign ( 2241 - 2246 ) GENDER : Cis Woman SEXUALITY : Bisexual AGE : 40 DATE OF BIRTH : 2218 PLACE OF BIRTH : A private medical center in Medara, carefully guarded to keep her mother's secret SPECIES : Betazoid OCCUPATION : Starfleet Officer EDUCATION : She attended Starfleet Academy and studied command, tactics, and would later come up through security. She's also made a private study of Betazoid mental arts, including some rather ancient spiritual texts most regard as mere legend. LANGUAGE(S) : Betazoid, Betazoid Sign Language, Federation Standard Sign Language FAITH : She still keeps up with some Betazoid spiritualism, albeit privately ABILITIES : Even among Betazoids, Leya is a fairly strong telepath. MEDICAL CONDITION(S) : According to a recent psychological profile done by Starfleet Medical, "Captain Turi shows signs of stress and behavior consistent with a diagnosis of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD" - however, it seems this might have been disregarded by HQ. She has also been having extreme issues with her telepathic and empathic abilities, which were easier to hide from the vastly human complement of the medical team. Leya is also HOH, utilizing hearing aids while on- as well as off-duty.

MOTHER : Lady Helearra Nin of the First House, Speaker of the Council from 2241 to 2259, estranged. ( 2195 - 2304 ) FATHER : Olsin Turi, Professor of Warp Engineering at the University of Betazed and the most dear man in all the universe to her. ( 2196 - 2299 ) SIBLING(S) : Teeya Nin ( half-sister, estranged), Deni Nin ( half-sister, estranged ), Akrin Nin ( half-brother, estranged ) CHILDREN : None. SPOUSE : None. OTHER : Captain Jonathan "Johnny" Trout, her commanding officer and friend until his death in 2258. She holds herself responsible for his death. FACECLAIM : Golshifteh Farahani

Born of an affair between an engineering student and an heiress to one of the Great Houses of Betazed, Leyara Turi was named for her paternal grandmother and took her father's name - a change from the usual custom on Betazed. Her mother had her brought to her father by an aide who accompanied a lawyer with a pristine financial support plan that Olsin, then little more than an ambitious student, could really not argue against.

Leyara, called Leya or LeLe by her grandmother especially, was an early bloomer when it came to her telepathic abilities. By age ten, her telepathic abilities were so pronounced her father sought to put her in extra classes to aid her in managing them.

When she was eleven, Leya accompanied her father - now a popular up-and-coming astrophysicist, pioneering new designs for warp engines informed by Betazed techniques - when he gave a seminar on the planet Earth at Starfleet Academy. It was her first time on a starship and her first time leaving the planet, the first time she saw the stars up close ... it felt magical. She told her father (and anyone else in earshot) that she intended to join Starfleet and see the stars, always.Her whole life became dedicated to the pursuit of entering Starfleet Academy. As Betazed was not yet an official member of the Federation, she required extra layers of qualification, including letters of recommendation. She obtained one from one of her father's friends and was subsequently accepted into Starfleet Academy as its first student from the planet Betazed.

Leya excelled at the academy, though not without some cultural fits and starts, and graduated with honors and the rank of Lieutenant for her efforts, assigned to the USS Kelvin as its navigator.Her career following the Kelvin is as varied as it is prestigious, with a brief interlude in a ground assignment that may have been more disciplinary. After this, she was assigned to the USS Excalibur first at the helm, but is promoted to Chief Security Officer in 2250 and made a Lieutenant-Commander.

In 2255, Leya accepted a position as First Officer aboard the USS Valiant, a Cardenas-class ship, serving under Captain Jonathan 'Johnny' Trout, a human, for just under six months before the Valiant and all Federation starships within reach were pulled into war with the Klingon Empire.

During the war, the Valiant often found itself asked to go behind enemy lines, and where her abilities had been sparingly used on her adventures before, war called for a more offensive telepath than one useful for diplomatic actions. Leya had remained a student of Betazed mental philosophy and understood that in using things like 'mind control' she could very well jeopardize her people's reputation within the Federation. And yet as the war went on, she found herself too comfortable with directing a Klingon to let himself out of the airlock or turn his weapons on his friends. She consoled herself with the fact that her captain lived, her crew lived.

With the war over, the crew of the Valiant hoped to resume mostly-peaceful exploration. However during a routine border patrol assignment, the Valiant came into contact with a hostile foreign vessel. In what was later understood to be a first contact gone wrong, nearly half of the ship's complement was killed by raiders from the other ship convinced that the Federation would destroy them. While she survived, Captain Trout did not make it, along with many others in their crew. Though Leya could not read the minds of the intruders, she could feel every single death of each crewman.

In the end, Leya was not held responsible - though she reported herself - and instead offered the captain's chair of the Valiant.

Born at the turn of the century in Seattle, Amanda Grayson's early life was mostly without incident.     She was diagnosed with dyslexia around the age of eight that made it more difficult for her at school, but through patient instruction from her teachers and help from her parents she managed well. This help would inspire her to pursue education as a career into her adulthood.

In 2229, she met Ambassador Sarek of Vulcan at an awards reception for the T'Relan Award for Excellence in Teaching, which she won as an honor for her excellence in instruction on alien cultures. They married later that year and amanda moved to Vulcan to be with her new husband.

Things were . . . difficult, to say the least. Though amanda admired the Vulcan way of logic, the same could not be said of the Vulcans with regard to Amanda. She gave birth to a son, Spock. A number of years later, Sarek would bring home a young human girl named Michael. Though she loved all her family, the household was ... tumultuous, to say the least. She and Sarek had a number of rough patches, the roughest being when Spock chose to join Starfleet. In the ensuing fight, she left him to go to earth and teach a seminar series across the planet. They would reconcile a year later. ( this is where her discovery and strange new worlds involvement goes, when i get to watching that. )

In her later years, she continued to accompany her husband on his diplomatic duties and published several translations of Vulcan poetry into Federation Standard English. Amanda passed away in 2293 after a short battle with Reyerson's Disease, with her son at her bedside. Her husband was away on business.

MUSE INFORMATION: JENNY

This iteration focuses on Jenny 2.0, i.e. Jenny's second regeneration. Contrary to the episode, I hold that Jenny is capable of regeneration, especially with the rules as established by NuWho. But because she didn't know of it as a possibility, her mind sort of . . . accidentally suppressed it. Add in the instability added by the Source attempting to stir her again, and the effects were a bit catastrophic. The following is a timeline based on her regeneration as Year Zero and follows her adventures since then - and where you might find her now.

THE REGENERATION: In the midst of her flight from Messaline, Jenny One realizes that something is wrong. She feels weird. Feverish. It all catches up to her at once, just as she's managed to point her stolen ship toward a moon to land and take stock. It ends, predictably, in a crash. And an explosion - not exactly related. She remembered the pain the most, the confusion. After all, she didn't know what was going on. Eventually, among the burning wreckage, Jenny Two-Point-Oh stumbled out. Had anyone been around, they might have thought of watching a new horse trying to walk. But no one was. She climbed out of a crater and passed out.

YEAR 0 - 111: The first few years on the moon - which she decided to name Bob, not for any other reason except it seemed that the place needed a name - Jenny entertained some delusions of getting off it. There were a number of ships there, having crashed just like hers. She started trying to rebuild one from the scrap parts and user manuals and plain elbow grease, but 1 + 1 doesn't make 3, no matter how you slice it. She managed to construct a radio and later, got one of the engineering drones that a ship had on it working. It's name was J-177 (she called her Jill). Apparently. Alone but for a not-exactly-conversational robot and her own head, Jenny worked out a little routine for herself: wake up, send out an SOS, explore for more parts, more ships, more rations - she found she didn't need to eat quite as much, and used that to her advantage - come back, send another SOS, read one of the user manuals to Jill. That was her first century. Alone.

YEAR 112: Finally, a breakthrough: an unmanned ship crashed, brought down by its own rogue AI module. It had just enough power and parts for Jenny to finish her own ship off and, making sure to take Jill with her, she was off. She limped the ship to a nearby space station. A real one! With actual people! In her excitement, Jenny was promptly scammed out of her hodge-podge of a ship - thankfully, she still had Jill, who'd come with her onto the station. Stuck again with no money and no transport, Jenny and her robot companion were recruited by the station's resident band of thieves.

YEAR 113 - 115: In her years on The Space Station   ( she never gets the name, always moving a bit too fast to hear )   Jenny gets to be a decent thief, while Jill offers mechanical support in sourcing parts for yet another ship. In this endeavor, they meet a local mechanic named Norma 7, a clone-cyborg who made a living repairing ships as they came in. Jenny and Norma struck up a kind of mentee-mentor relationship, with Norma allowing her to sleep, when she did, in her garage. She doesn't approve of Jenny's thieving, but slips her some parts nonetheless. In return, Jenny takes up jobs that are a bit rough on the old wires-and-neurons, and even helps tune her up every now and again. It's a nice life, but she's restless, constantly waiting for the Big Job everyone keeps talking about, the sort that gets you off The Space Station.

YEAR 116: The Big Job finally comes. She and a half dozen others are chosen for a heist targeting an intergalactic arms dealer. It's enough money to get her off The Space Station, and maybe even enough for a down payment on a proper ship! Leaving Jill and Norma 7 behind - they'd gotten close, anyway - and went. But during the heist, she learned they were stealing weapon plans to sell to another arms dealer. Jenny betrayed her team, tossing the data-stick out of an airlock at the last second. In the aftermath, she's the one that takes the fall for the crime and is arrested and sentenced to prison. At least it's somewhere new.

YEAR 117 - 120: It takes three agonizing years   ( everything moves so slow! )   but Jenny and her cellmate, a half-human named Defne, manage a mostly-smooth escape from prison. They shake their tail and for the first time, she's got a ship that's worth a damn. She drops Defne off at some outpost and promises to keep in touch.

YEAR 121 - 135: Something of a personal golden age. She has a number of solo adventures: a short stint in university, some time in a circus, a year's time in space ballet school. She kisses a princess and outruns bounty hunters so thoroughly they offer her a job. Sometimes, she's tempted to dig into words that stick in her head. Words like Gallifrey or Doctor - but other words stick there too, and she figures that maybe she shouldn't. Maybe she doesn't deserve to.

YEAR 136: Jenny cheats in a poker game and wins a broken vortex manipulator. When her deception is inevitably learned as she's tinkering with it, she tries to use it to transport her out of danger and ends up displaced in time and space. She ends up in some trash bins on the planet Earth in the back of a pub. It's there she meets Charlotte Alison Smith-Compton, or Chuck. She's in England on holiday at her aunt's pub after dropping out of her Master's program, drifting a bit. Bemused, she helps Jenny up and gets her a drink. Tells her she's on Earth, and that it's 1985. Jenny's fascinated.

YEAR 137 - 142: The Jenny and Chuck years, an era of adventures - but not so alone this time. In an attempt to fix her vortex manipulator, they break into UNIT and get caught. Duh. Jenny's briefly mistaken for the Doctor with a different face and, when the truth is revealed, manages to work out a sort of deal - she'll help on a case-by-case basis, but they're not allowed to tell the Doctor she's there. Ever. She doesn't know why she doesn't want him to know, and she's not about to spend time analyzing it. Jenny and Chuck have a few earthbound adventures before she finally gets her vortex manipulator working and skedaddles, leaving UNIT in the lurch and taking Chuck on some typical space-lesbian adventures.

YEAR 143: After an argument about their future together, Chuck breaks things off with Jenny. Jenny drops Chuck off at home and they don't say goodbye the way either of them want to. By 2025, Alison-Smith-Compton-Lewis is a successful music producer living in the US with her partner and their kids.

YEAR 144 - 150: Post-breakup depression tour. Jenny joins up with some space pirates as their mechanic, incites a mutiny, frees some animals from a space zoo, gets arrested for high treason on a planet with no sort of trial law, introduces democracy, works as a roller skating waitress on a cruise ship, gets thrown out of two more universities . . . and she's only just getting started.
