Molecular Physicist
Dr. Abe Stern
Genius, empiricist, creator of the Pocket Dimension, fan of Kizz Cola
While his involvement in IS-0173-B was not necessarily Dr. Stern's greatest contribution to human knowledge, it did garner him a much cherished pet: Ela.
Fundamentally, Dr. Stern is intrigued by new technology and its possibilities. While he understands that unchecked sharing of information runs counter to the precepts of a private research facility like Cascade, his enthusiasm for the so-called 'Internet' was intense from the first DARPA proposals. Shortly after receiving an invitation to test an early version of the 'World Wide Web' from his friend Tim Berners-Lee, he began experimenting with the system on his own private network. Certain that free and open access to knowledge is essential to human evolution, Dr. Stern now needs only to throw a switch to access the vast 'info-ocean'.
