ROLE
Scientific Investigator
Professor Sharpe leads the attempt to understand the alien Power Cell and determine what it can do.
SCIENTIST AND INVESTIGATOR
Professor Sharpe
“The Power Cell could change everything—if Leinad could be persuaded to reveal its secrets.”
Intelligent. Methodical. Determined. Intensely curious. Professor Sharpe is investigating technology that should not exist—and an alien who knows far more than he admits.
WHO IS PROFESSOR SHARPE?
The Scientist Seeking the Truth
Professor Sharpe approaches the alien Power Cell as both a scientific mystery and a discovery capable of transforming the world. He wants evidence, explanations and answers that can be tested.
The greatest source of those answers is Leinad. Professor Sharpe believes the alien understands the Power Cell's origin, purpose and true capabilities, but Leinad is unwilling to cooperate.
Curiosity makes Professor Sharpe persistent, but the investigation carries dangers no ordinary laboratory was designed to contain. The closer he gets to the truth, the greater the consequences become.
