It wasn't terribly unusual to see a new face around the office - the Bureau was a place of work, just like any other, and there were new hires occasionally. However, it dawned on Emily as she noticed the mopping figure that it was, in fact, unusual to see a new face... in a janitor's uniform.
''New Girl'' is a ''VideoGame/{{Control}}'' fanfic by mortimermcmirestinks, set in an AlternateTimeline where Jesse infiltrates the Federal Bureau of Control as a member of the janitorial staff.

* MythologyGag: The place Jesse meets Emily to tell her the truth is called the Oh Deer Cafe, a reference to the Oh Deer Diner from ''VideoGame/AlanWake''.
* NonLinearCharacter: Jesse and Emily theorize that Polaris is a being that exists beyond the human perception of time, hence how it seems to know where things are before it and Jesse find them. [[spoiler:This is what they use to create a time machine]].

--> There was a mirror. An anchor. A cell with "P6" printed across it. A floating corpse. Every time she saw someone eating an orange, she shuddered. Someone had turned on an old Justin Bieber song and she'd almost collapsed. She couldn't look into dark places anymore – not since her star had shown her that ''thing'' with the twisted antlers. She'd walked past a refrigerator and suddenly been overwhelmed with the image of a gigantic, bulging, pulsing, glowing, ''staring'' eye. And, for some reason, panini.
* RippleEffectProofMemory:
** [[spoiler:When Jesse enters the Oldest House and becomes a member of the staff, all Polaris shows her are events and images from the original timeline, Jesse confused and afraid without the context for them.]]
** When Jesse tells Emily her backstory, she admits to believing it, feeling like she was told the whole thing once before.
** While Emily and Arish [[spoiler:try to break Jesse out of the Containment Sector]], they have a run-in with Langston, who acts exactly how he did in the original timeline.
* SpottingTheThread: The entire story starts when Emily sees Jesse cleaning in the Research Sector. What makes this weird is that she has never seen any janitorial staff other than Ahti, Ahti himself a potential paranatural entity. The fact that he took on an assistant seems suspicious.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Emily notes that whenever someone finds Ahti suspicious or unusual, all anyone has to say about it is "good old Ahti."

** Chapter 4: [[spoiler:Emily introduces Darling to Jesse and he recognizes her instantly.]]
** Chapter 5: [[spoiler:Trench meets Jesse and recognizes her too, Darling asking him what they'll do about it.]]
