By 25 he held a postgraduate research position at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. UNM is better known for its medical center, but as New Mexico is known as the Energy State, it should not be surprising that it covers other disciplines like geology, metallurgy, astronomy and engineering.
Duncan travelled back in time from the early 21st century to late 1939 through a time portal of his own invention. More specifically he travelled to Albuquerque, NM for this is where he was from in the 21st century. New Mexico became the 47th on Jan 6, 1912. (Arizona was 48th in Feb.)
Duncan stands 6’7” tall, athletic build, steel blue eyes, nearly black hair. He walks with a limp in his left leg, and a glove on his left hand (covering a scar where his hand was sliced in half lengthwise). The other injuries aren’t as apparent. He is clearly very, very educated. And he couldn’t support himself without wealth.
Upon his arrival he first arranged for his records and identification, legitimate as far as anyone could tell. Then he arranged to purchase land, built a ranch, an airport, and some labs and fabrication plants to the north of the city.
For the past 3 years Duncan has been living in the past. He has thrown himself into his research. He hired men to run his airport and fabrication plants. The research labs are more for his personal use. He has taken flying lessons and has an interest in aeronautical research, engine designs, and some fields that have no names yet.
After Pearl Harbor in 1941, the US entered the War. New Mexico had the highest volunteer rate. They were among the first into the war and had the highest casualty rate. The Navajo Code talkers started here as well. Duncan, however, did not go and get in line to volunteer. Truth to tell, he’d have a rough time passing a physical.
Enter the Lady.
This is your part. This is a very open position. But your main character should be one that will turn the head of this man. (He’s almost 28 now.) Boring won’t do it. Shy probably won’t do it either.
The Plot
About an hour and a half drive north of Albuquerque is Los Alamos, birthplace of the Atomic Bomb. In about 6 months Site Y will be opened up and the local peoples displaced by eminent domain and the Second War Powers Act. Duncan like to go fishing in the Jemez Mts, just 10 miles SW of Los Alamos. He also likes to check out the construction of the new Kirtland Airfield and related sites.
