Who Was Jean Selig?

Where did Jean come from? Was she an avatar of the Anomaly? Did the It send her to lead a rebellion against us? Or was she a Charter agent turned traitor? My theory is that Jean was too disciplined, too methodical to be an incarnation of creative chaos. I’m looking out of my window at the Anomaly right now. It’s trapped in our courtyard. It appears to be as mindless now as it did during the creation of the Multiverse. It radiates creative chaos into the Multiverse. That’s all. Jean, on the other hand, was disciplined. Shrewd. She hid her motives from us across three generations. That would suggest that she comes from the Charter. But we are all accounted for. Not one of us is missing. A puzzle.

Solving the problem of Jean’s origin is key to solving the Selig/Pastore problem. We need to find out where she came from and what her goals were. I suggest that we audit everyone in the Charter. I will lead an investigation of the entire Pyramid in an attempt to find the traitor. The traitor cannot know we are looking for them. We cannot cause a panic. After the audit is over and we can say for certain that Jean did not come from our organization, then we can shift our focus. The Anomaly is our next suspect. Personally, I’d prefer that Jean came from within the Charter. The Anomaly, for now, is a known quantity to us. It is mindless. We know how to control it. But what if it is learning how to operate outside of its cage? I’d prefer not to think about that for now. [caption id="attachment_370" align="alignnone" width="271"] Who are you?[/caption]

Jean Selig: Her Family

Jean Selig: Her Family

Last modified by Charter Agent QBL
Emerson Selig (Husband): Emerson was working as a researcher at the Bell telephone company when he met Jean. He was building a device, similar to our machines, that could locate other chaotically-aligned individuals like himself. He found Jean almost on cue. Jean turned Emerson’s attention toward esoteric science. Emerson found a way to “resurrect” simple life forms, but he retired when his experiments injured his son Lucius. Piper Pastore (Daughter): Piper once had chaotic abilities of her own, but they disappeared when her twin brother had his accident. Piper had the gift of all-sight, an ability to see different realities, all the iterations of the Multiverse. Jean encouraged Piper to be an artist, giving her a creative outlet even after the all-sight faded away. Nicolae Pastore (Son-in-Law): Jean couldn’t have been more pleased with her daughter’s choice of a husband. Jean saw her own marriage reflected in that of her daughter’s. Jean welcomed Nicolae into the family, as though she knew that her son-in-law and her husband would be colleagues. Lucius Selig (Son): Lucius was injured in one of Emerson's experiments on Nimsesku. Lucius possessed no chaotic abilities until that moment, but then he started to slip from one dimension to another. For his safety Lucius’ parents pulled him from school and kept him at home, as though he had a chronic medical condition. Jean taught Lucius how to control his trances and visit places he wished to see. Lucius is grateful to her, but we have to wonder: did Jean engineer his accident? Lex and Morgan (Grandchildren): Jean cannot corrupt her grandchildren anymore, but it wasn’t for lack of trying. Lex, who is only ten years old, is pursuing his research with the same determination as his grandfather. Jean caused this. Morgan was being trained for some other purpose, but we can only guess what that was.

Jean Selig: A Muse of Chaos

Anomalous Abilities: Muse. Jean inspires people to plumb the depths of creative chaos. Biography: We know very little about Jean Selig. If she knew the extent of her powers, she hid them well from us. It’s possible that she knew about the Charter and took pains to avoid us. We know this: she could never be tracked by our surveillance. We have no records of her until she married Emerson Selig. In fact, had we not been following Emerson, we never would have discovered Jean. The lack of information about Jean is one of the most shameful failures of this office. Let me be clear: this was the fault of my predecessor, Charter Administrator 94. I am, of course, blameless. He is, of course, languishing in the robot pits. The prevailing theory about Jean is that she is a muse. That’s our best guess. Jean inspired creative chaos in the lives of her family. Her presence amplified and focused the powers of her husband, her children, and her grandchildren. Because of her the family accomplished things they wouldn’t be able to do otherwise. The family certainly has floundered since her death, and their fragile connections to one another are starting to break down. Some agents see this as the light at the end of the tunnel, but chaos can never be trust [caption id="attachment_365" align="alignnone" width="650"] A younger Jean and Piper up to no good. Footage captured by Nimsesku.[/caption] Evidence: Jean inspired the most notorious incident to come out of the Selig household. When she and Emerson were dating they talked for hours about the harmonic nature of the Multiverse. These discussions inspired Emerson to build the Transducer, a dangerous sonic device he used to resurrect Nimsesku. That chaos created more chaos. Emerson’s experiment forever changed Lucius, his son. And Lucius would still be confined to his bed today had Jean not intervened. Lucius learned how to travel between dimensions and build new worlds within those dimensions. He abused this gift, creating the Power of Positive Mechanics cult. We only recently put a stop to “Master” Lucius’ atrocious behavior. Not even Jean’s grandchildren were safe from her meddling. She inspired Lex to take up his grandfather’s studies in esoteric science. Jean played “games” with Morgan that were designed to increase her skills as an empath. Jean has become a legend around this office. Even though she’s dead, some of our agents suspect that she’s not entirely gone. There is a radio signal surrounding the Selig home. This signal shifts up and down the harmonic frequency, in the same way Jean’s did. We cannot find an origin or a destination for this signal. It covers the Selig home like a fog. Conclusion: Jean trained this family. She molded them (possibly without their knowledge) into a cell designed to create chaos. At least two of her brood went on to nearly break the universe. There is evidence that she may have encouraged her grandchildren to follow in the family business. It’s extremely lucky for the Charter that she is no longer with us. At least not in a physical form.

  Alias(es): None Age: 63* (approximation based on vocal timbre dating) Birthdate: Unknown Died: Dec. 21, 2012 Index Number: Jean cannot be tagged with an index number. INs track people through the Multiverse by identifying the target’s unique harmonic signature. Jean cycled up and down through all known IN frequencies. We first noticed this when Jean’s energy reading was identical to an Anomalous creature living in the Crab Nebula. Since we are reliably certain that Jean wasn't a lightyears-long sentient cloud of gas, we can only conclude that she was cloaked. Tracking her was extremely difficult. Who was this woman?
