Dr. Lynus Hayes

Dr. Lynus Hayes 3162 – 3253 OTT[1]

Terran Human, Born: London, England, Earth. Astrophysics PhD – 3187, University of Oxford, Oxford, England, Earth.

3237 – Nobel laureate in astrophysics;

First ghost to be given the Diana Spencer Award for Contributions to Paranormal Science (awarded posthumously, of course).

In 3239, while at the University of New Cambridge, he proposed a way for humans to take the next step in evolution. His proposal was not accepted, and was ridiculed in some quarters. Unable to do research at New Cambridge, he managed to obtain private funding in 3231 and moved to the Exhault 5 station to conduct it.

In 3252, after almost 20 years of work, Dr. Hayes made his breakthrough discovery. However, he was unable to find a sentient volunteer of any acceptable type to undergo the process first.

In desperation, Dr. Hayes decided to undergo the procedure himself. Unfortunately, he ran into the same problem as the Antoo. He became stuck between realities and became a “Ghost”’ then found himself “linked” to Exhault 5.

Due to boredom and frustration, he gave an “interview” in 3354. Again, his judgement was poor, as the reporter was from the Union Herald, with a very poor reputation in terms of being a serious magazine.

When the decision to demolish the station was made in 3600 OTT, Dr. Hayes (being fairly deranged at that time) began trying to prevent the demolition. Several murders later, Workgroup Olympus had to be called in. They resolved the problem by psychically locking Dr Hayes into a small metal block, then placing that block in stasis.[2]



Notes:
[1] The body died, but the “spirit” lived on, unknown to others.

[2] Eventually, Olympus applied the “Antoo Solution”.
