EXCEED HER

Transcript:
Jansen: Ava Jansen, private journal. Eighth of June, 2020. Fourteen years since I learned I was adopted.
Jansen: Happened in Biology class. We did blood-type tests. Mine ruled out Mum and Dad as my birth-parents.
Jansen: I marched straight home and turned the place upside down looking for my birth certificate.
Jansen: Instead I found a CD-ROM full of research by someone named Elizabeth Grey.
Jansen: Her photo... I knew that face from a hazy childhood memory I’d told myself was a dream.
Jansen: When they came home, my parents - the ones who actually raised me - told me about their old friend...
Jansen: ...the one who left and never came back. What could be so damned important that you’d abandon a three year-old?
Jansen: It tore me up so much, I dove into physics to avoid that question.
Jansen: In time I stopped looking for her in the files and focused on the research itself.
Jansen: Schrödinger, Hawking, Kaku, they all had theories about other universes and dimensions. Elizabeth Grey’s work went beyond mere theory.
Jansen: Her painstaking dissections of Dark Aether life forms... her spectrographic analyses of their tissues...
Jansen: Her partnership with Oskar Strauss to codify the exotic physics animating these impossible organisms...
Jansen: The more I understood, the less I was driven by anger and resentment to study her work.
Jansen: Now all that’s left... is to exceed her.
