Milliways Dossier: Joshua Donovan


Threads: (x)

History

  • Met while he bartended in a bathrobe during Geek Pride day - what?
  • Works for the warehouse
  • "from South Dakota, and it's 1985" - as a young boy

Impressions

  • Threat Level: LOW - Joshua has no visible super powers except for his intelligence, which is considerable
  • Geek: "someone who is quite enthusiastic about things, generally somewhat intellectual things"
  • Brewed my tea precisely! wow!
  • He studies: "Particle physics at the moment. In general, theoretical physics. I try to figure out what makes the world do what it does" - fascinating!
  • Studied teleportation
  • Has a Collider which smashes particles together to create anti-matter, which blows up when it touches other matter - what!
  • Could create enough to blow up the world!
  • Joshua shot Helena with a Tesla: a combination of a ray gun and a stun gun
  • Weapons are locked up with the rest of the Artifacts in the Warehouse
  • Now works with Artifacts rather than anti-matter
  • The warehouse is: "Water-tight, air-tight, and electronic-tight. We have firewalls on our firewalls. Basically, it's almost impossible to get in unless she wants you in."
  • Next met while Joshua was on the piano - there's feeling, and his phrasing is decent, but his technique is jarring
  • "My job is the paperwork. I only do any field work at all because I like it"
  • Likes the Piano Man song; shut my down when I tried to ask about nostalgia
  • The administration, also known as the Regents, found and brought him in without giving him a real choice in the matter - augh!
  • Everyone's allowed to tell one person what's going on
  • "I was stuck in an interdimensional space that looked like, well, I call the shiny gold nonsense. As far as I can tell, I didn't physically age"
  • The Artifact in question that trapped him was a compass used by a sixteenth century mathematician named Rheticus
  • Met him as a young boy - and he had a mouth on him!
  • "That's why science is so fucking awesome. You can do all kinds of shit like that, and it's just chemicals"
  • Working on calculus as a child!
  • Talked over T-Minus during the Balls nonsense
  • Promoted to be "the brass"
  • Helped me research the Krampus during the abductions

Weaknesses

  • A bit loose-lipped

Scabs

  • How long has the Warehouse been operable?
  • How big is it? It must be huge!
  • Mental note: ask more about his teleportation and aging

Opportunities

  • So many - he could teach me about the Warehouse, and possibly let me see his Tesla!
