Five Quirky Things About Dr. Forbes Pohle

1. Forbes prefers to wear pants, not jeans. This
   probably has something to do with how he was raised. He was often put on
   display by his parents and therefore didn’t have a lot of casual playtime.
2. Forbes finished his undergraduate college degree
   at 14 and had his second graduate degree at 18. He described attending classes
   as sitting next to giants who looked at him as if he was the experiment instead of whatever the instructor was
   cooking up in the front of the hall.
3. Forbes has an unfortunate habit of building his
   friends instead of making them. He has always been more comfortable interacting
   with a robot or even a computer than interacting with humans.  That is not to say he’s not competent at
   social interaction. He is quite adept at securing research grants and contracts
   to fund his work.
4. Forbes’s house is located outside the city, not
   rural, but beyond the suburbs. It’s a very large house with its own attached
   laboratory. It also has a garden that he pays landscapers to keep for him. In
   the center of the garden is a fountain with a bench beside it where he likes to
   sit and think at dusk.
5. Forbes still has a teddy bear robot shaped dent
   in his blast chamber door from when Future Oliver first time travelled back to
   meet him.

Five Quirky Things About Oliver Lennox

1. Oliver likes to dress in hacker chic: black
   t-shirt, hoodie, black jeans, red Chuck Taylors and black nail polish. But he’s
   not averse to wearing a leather jacket hand-me-down when he’s out on his
   motorcycle in the Fall and Winter.
2. Oliver’s favorite color is black (as evidenced
   by the clothes choices he makes) because he thinks of black like a rainbow.
   It’s what you get when all the colors are mixed together. One of his favorite
   childhood memories is of making a cake with his mom and being allowed to frost
   it himself. He added all the different food colorings in the bowl with the
   white icing and it made black frosting. It was the best tasting cake he ever
   ate.
3. Oliver has a tattoo of Newton’s gravity formula on the inside of his
   hip. He first read about Sir Isaac Newton in a partially torn children’s book
   that he found at the Hill Lake Farm Residential Center.
4. Oliver lost both his mother and his stepfather
   in a car accident when he was a teenager. It was very late and his stepfather
   was tired when he lost control of the car and slammed into a concrete barrier. Oliver
   still wonders if his stepfather had been drinking that night.
5. Future Oliver has used Forbes’s time travel
   device more than the one time that Forbes is aware of. This will come back to
   bite both of them in the future.
