Until the Plague ravaged Paradiso. At this time Rejuve Technology was only new to the colony but it was the only technology capable of dealing with the scourge. Rejuved in Emergency chambers Jennifer and her Husband survived, with some side-effects but as their children were under the age of five, the disease could not be cured without killing them. The technology was still too experimental.

After losing their children she and her husband Patrick signed up for the rejuve parenting scheme and became Penny parents.

Current Events

As a qualified nurse, even if she was no longer practicing, she was skilled enough to monitor the progress of the off-world rejuves.

Still haunted by the memories of her first children during the plague, Jennifer is extremely affectionate with her new children and has spanked and coddled them in turn. She runs a tight family and is strict with her children but loves them dearly.
