Kevin (GCHQ)

A grey rat overseeing the "Dirty Half Dozen" project at GCHQ. Works under the Governor, and almost as bad-tempered. Not to be confused with Kevin Day.
January 3, 2003, Kevin calls for Chris to come to his office and berates him immediately. This sets off his ulcer, as the top brass want the Oracle online as soon as possible "for all this Iraq crap," as they could see from the test results that the Oracle's predictions were (ultimately) accurate. Chris tries to downplay the success of the test runs, but Kevin points out that "after they saw all the winnings [Chris] got from the bookies" and "that hidden little program about horses the Oracle runs 2 am each day" they called it a success, to Chris's chagrin. He then threatens Chris with American prison if he fails, before sending him away.
February 22, 2003, Kevin catches Chris working late and sends him home. Chris agrees but wants to wrap up before leaving, catching the Oracle running some questionable processes. Just as Chris figures out the logic behind this, Kevin barks at him to get moving, and this ends up being the last time Chris works on the Oracle.
February 28, 2003, Kevin makes off with Chris's ashes and brings them to the office so Chris can see his life's work go online. Susan is indignant that he stole the ashes, but Kevin insists that no one really appreciated Chris as much as Kevin did, protesting that the family was going to throw his ashes in the Thames when Chris was aquaphobic.
