Phil Montgomery

Now who's a fan of Tom Jones's "What's New Pussycat"?

Phil was the Head Researcher in the DSCP from 17701 to 20020, as well as a self-assigned Social Media Manager and PR person.

Phil had quit his job at NASA on October 29th, 20020. He was rehired as the Head Researcher as of November 19th, 20020, and the details on his return is unknown. However, the job of Social Media Manager was handed over to Riley O'Doherty instead.

## Personal Life

Little is known of Phil's personal life. He rents an apartment at an unknown location, presumably close to Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex, where he worked. He get paid decently for living there and cleaning around the house, as one would. He also frequently stays overnight at the Goldstone complex himself.

## Career

### Tutor

Before the Moment (estimated around 2020-2025), Phil worked as a tutor for kids. He mentioned that he got quite frustrated with them, but ultimately enjoyed the job.

He was working to get his teacher's certificate before the Moment occurred.

### American Football

Phil Montgomery holds the record for *500 Player who spent the Longest Time as Operator*, with the added record of 821 years total, throughout the three times he had gotten to be the ball operator. He was known for only shooting balls that are 1-points, planning the dropping point meticulously, and being a total asshole.

* 8163 to 8164: fired 29 times
* 12759 to 12761: fired 44 times
* 14401 to 15219: fired 4858 times

Phil joined NASA in 17701 at the recommendation of his 500 football coach, who commented about him in an interview: "The man needs a new hobby. He can shoot out 4931 one-pointers and make sure nobody wins this damn game with his immaculate physics calculations, but at some point someone's gonna hike up to the Denali mountain and strangle him to death, or at least, until he call it quits and leave. Fuck, he'd be lucky if they'd let him leave, he can't run for shit!"

### Time at NASA

After joining NASA, Phil was soon assigned the job of Head Researcher in the DSCP program because of his expertise in computer science and astrophysics, but mainly because the previous HR got bored ([citation needed]) and had to go take a temporary vacation to Lemu.

He worked there as HR until 20020, and because of the decline in interest in the DSCP, by the 18600s he was the only employee of that program. At one point, he established himself as both the Social Media Manager and the PR person.

There was a surge of interest for sign up as a new wave of probes woke in late 20020, but Phil refused to hire new personnel for "security reasons".

## Projects at NASA

During his time at NASA, Phil started many projects:

* **Project Revive**: A project aimed to wake all spacecraft within the solar system. Started 17776, estimated completion in 21300.
* **Interstellar Cartography System** : An 3D rendered model of the explored universe, explorable by newVR² with real-time feedback from the casts of DSCP. Started 19021, estimated completion of 20100.
* **Aliens Still exiSt (you cant change my mind)**: A one man research project to prove humanity wrong. Started 17701, no estimated completion date.
* **Project Home**: This project was officially logged on NASA's list of ongoing programs, but details were never released. Started 20020.

## Trivia

* He has stated that "I don't keep anything in my pantry". This statement is false, as he had posted pictures of his pantry on his twitter in 3482: it is filled with a brand of Unnamed hair gel that got discontinued that year.
* At one point JUICE started a campaign to *Save Phil's Pantry* which was broadcasted on *Houston Local radio KB279*, forcing Phil to make a PSA about him being, in fact, not starving to death nor needing 56 boxes of expired lunchables mailed to his house.
