[@Cu Chulainn] I can't work with the concept as you're currently describing it. I'll give you a metaphor to get across why it doesn't work out. In our world, scientists theorize about the existence of dark matter, but they can't actually prove its existence. Then one day, an undergraduate at MIT shows up with photos of dark matter from a Polaroid camera. When pressed about how this was accomplished, they claim to be a savant.

Does this make my position any clearer? We can work out ideas for your character over PM if you would like.
