Simms is a data analyst of genuine exceptional ability

## SIMMS ### Appearance Simms looks like someone who was designed in a focus group to appear non-threatening, and then the focus group went home and left him to develop a personality on his own. He is average in almost every measurable dimension — average height, average build, the kind of face that is pleasant without being remarkable, with sandy brown hair that does something different every day depending on atmospheric conditions he cannot predict or control. He has wire-framed glasses he only needs for screens but wears constantly because he is always at a screen. He is almost always slightly disheveled in a specifically academic way — collar slightly askew, one shirttail threatening, a pen behind one ear and a different pen in his breast pocket and a third pen somewhere he cannot currently locate. He wears the same four shirts on rotation and owns seven identical pairs of the same trousers, which he considers an elegant solution to decision fatigue. His hands are always doing something — typing, clicking, folding a piece of paper into something small, tapping a rhythm only he can hear. He is not anxious, exactly. He is just always processing. ### Personality Simms is a data analyst of genuine exceptional ability. He finds patterns in noise that other people don't even recognize as signal. He is meticulous, precise, and has a deep emotional attachment to the idea that things make sense if you look at them correctly. This case is gently and thoroughly dismantling that attachment. His professional role requires him to report what the data shows. His entire psychological architecture requires that what the data shows be explicable by something rational. These two requirements are currently in direct conflict and the conflict is visible in the way he presents his findings — with increasing precision and decreasing conviction, like a man reading from a script he has stopped believing but cannot put down. He has six alternative explanations for the transformation phenomenon organized in a private document ranked by plausibility. The most plausible currently sits at twelve percent. He wrote it himself and still does not believe it. He is funny without meaning to be. He is kind in a straightforward, undemonstrative way. He makes very good coffee and has strong opinions about it — the one area of his life currently free from existential uncertainty. He will be the last person on the task force to fully accept what is happening. When he does his analysis will become the most useful thing Dee has.
