Particle Physicist
Dr. Elanor Newman
Inventor of the Dark Lens, but she'd rather you didn't call it that.
Dr. Newman has been involved with perforation research since its inception, and is personally responsible for much of GATE's critical progress in this field. Following the success of GATE's Flathill experiments, Dr. Newman spearheaded Cascade Facility's first on-site perforations in Reactor Sector in 1988. The location of these first portal systems close to the Hydroplant and the prototype Fusion reactor reflected the immense power demands of GATE's early systems. Following Dr. Newman's invention of the Dark Lens and subsequent improvements in portal dynamics, these older systems were largely abandoned. They remain, in theory, functional in the depths of the Reactor Sector.
