History: 

(Flash II #40) - Tina and Jerry McGee were working on their artificial intelligence project when they got a call from Wally. His friend Linda Park had seemingly been possessed by the ghost of an Irish bard named Seamus O’Relkig, and he needed them to look through university employment records to find out the current address of Al Desmond. Desmond was once known as Dr. Alchemy, and was the only expert in magic that Wally knew of. The McGees were ready to turn in for the night when Easy Martin asked to look over their data. They admitted there seemed to be a power source they couldn’t account for, and Easy found extra ROM memory. He said they shouldn’t feel bad at overlooking something since they weren’t as young or driven as he was and Tina sarcastically thanked him for his condescension. The next day Tina approached Dr. Byron, the east coast’s leading expert in cybernetic intelligence, and asked him why he wasn’t interested in helping his colleagues with a project that played to his expertise. Byron said he considered his colleagues beneath him, had no faith in their project, and didn’t outright state it but seemed insulted that Dr. Tims was the head of the project and not him. The McGee’s project had a breakthrough when they replaced the program’s memory chips with organic material derived from seaweed, tripling the program’s speed, RAM and ROM.
