Anne Jaydon

*Ms. Anne,*
*I’m not sure you can help, but my father is in trouble. My mother was taken by evil people who hurt her and then hurt my dad.*
*They want him to help them because he works on science and they want something. They made him promise not to tell the police. Since he can’t tell anyone, and I can’t tell the police either, I thought maybe someone powerful like you could help my mom and my dad.*
*If not, I understand. I know you are pretty busy with your ships and stuff.*

*Thank you for listening, Anne.*

*p.s., I love your last name, it is the same as my first name.*

## Activities

### The Kurtherian Gambit

#### My Ride Is A Bitch

Anne is introduced as a 12 year old who's father is researching alien tech but bad guys want his research so kidnap's his wife and ties Anne to her bed that has a bomb attached, so if Anne gets up, the bomb will go off. While still allowed to attend school Anne sneaks a letter to Bethany Anne in the beginning of the ordeal, before she is tied up and not allowed to leave again. Bethany Anne, Ashur and John rescues the family. Ever after this story is referred to as the "Trophy Wife" story.

When she first meets Ashur she understands him just as well as Bethany Anne does. Her parents and her stay with Bethany Anne's group and do not return to Earth, but her Mother has a hard time adjusting and often takes her displeasure out on Anne.

#### Never Surrender

Anne has been enhanced and is living with Tabitha, and training with Peter.

#### Ahead Full

Mentioned by Billy "William" Stevenson with Seshat to analyze data.

### The Kurtherian Endgame

#### Enter Into Valhalla

It's mentioned that Anne and Jinx were on a ship that is missing in action.

Ashur’s tail drooped. “I miss them too.”
Tabitha paused to kneel and hug her canine friend.
“I lost my friends when Anne’s ship didn’t make it back. You lost your children. We’ll find them one day, don’t you worry.”

#### Promises Kept

Anne, Jinx, Dio and Matrix are found safe and alive.

### The Etheric Academy

#### Etheric Recruit

Anne is now 16 and having a lot of problems with her school and her parents.  She is always hurting and tires easily but none of the adults in her life believe that there is anything wrong, instead they think she is “acting out”.

Everything comes to a head when Jinx chooses her as her partner. Anne is overwhelmed with delight but her mother melts down and threatens her.  Bethany Anne is alerted by the E.I. Meredeth Reynolds that there are problems between the dogs and Anne’s Mother.  Bethany Anne shows up and Shelia threatens her too.  Bethany Anne shows Anne that she has the option to become Emancipated and that she would find her a place stay, all she has to do is go to school. Bethany Anne has Anne move in with Tabitha, as she thinks that they both can learn and help each other. Tabitha show her how to get on when she will have her own place.  They also do a lot of shopping for things that Anne needs.

Once Jinx is spending more time with a human, she has problems understanding some of the things they say so wants to go to school with Anne and so she won’t be alone all day. After a week of being around more humans all of the time, Jinx goes to Tabitha with a concern that Anne doesn’t “smell” right, that she smells like she may be sick.  Tabitha contacts Bethany Anne and Ashur and her arrive. Ashur confirms what Jinx is smelling, so Bethany Anne gets Anne to the original med pod in TOM’s ship.  Jinx jumps in with her to reassure her and so Anne won’t be as scared.  TOM in turn reassures Bethany Anne that it won’t be a problem having Jinx in with Anne. Once the diagnosis is completed, they discover that Anne has Leukemia and needs extensive work done to no only cure it, but fix the damage and alter the DNA to prevent future problems.  Ultimately Anne and Jinx are in the med pod for almost 8 weeks and when they come out, they have both changed a great deal. Jinx is now almost as big as her father and as she is still considered a puppy will continue to grow.  Since Anne had stopped growing before going into the Pod-Doc she probably won't grow beyond the changes she's experienced that include slightly taller, larger feet, bra size A to B and her eyes glowing red when she grows upset. TOM theorizes that the med-pod is learning with each person put in there and becoming more efficient with it’s “tweeks”.

Tabitha takes Anne and Jinx to Peter Silvers in the Guardian training center. Hehas Jennifer change to wolf form to teach Jinx how best to fight as a canine. Peter has Joseph, an ex-drill sergeant work with Anne. Anne refuses to go on the offensive so Peter comes back and taunts her about what could happen to Jinx if Anne fails to protect her. Anne goes into vampire mode and burns her hand print into Peter's chest with Etheric energy. Stephen uses his command voice to get control of both Peter and Anne and stop the fight before Peter is too injured.

By happenchance, Anne meets Christina Lowell when she is trying to stop some were teens bullying a human boy. Later she encounters Christina again in the park and discovers that she is trying to change into a Pricolici form, but can't do it. This gets Anne to thinking about it and how they go about changing, which she determines is that they need more energy, not extreme emotions. She asks Christina to come and visit her and gives her some of her own blood, not realizing the effect of mixing were and vampire blood. But the dose of blood did help Christina change forms. When Ecaterina calls Christina's tablet and Anne answers it, she is concerned so Anne tells her the truth, and Ecaterina sees and hears Christina singing "Who's afraid of the Big Bad Wolf". Ecaterina isn't happy and takes off for Anne's apartment but TOM realizes that there may be proglems when she gets there, so explains to Bethany Anne what is happening. Bethany Anne intercepts Ecaterina and they both arrive at Anne's apartment together.

Once Anne has explained the sequence of events to them both and is reassured that Christina is young enough that they probably wont be any long term effects, Ecaterina and Christina leave. Bethany Anne is intrigued by Anne's experiment and explanation for how she came up with the idea.

Bethany Anne asks Anne if she thinks that there is a lot of misinformation about the abilities created by the Kurtherian's and Anne explains her theory that most of what they think is based on assumptions that were made without any real understanding.

Anne will be paid a salary but is expected to continue going and finishing school. She has never really bought into learning to fight and once again tries to get out of it, but Tabitha catches her at it and has Peter talk with both Anne and Jinx about their training.
Peter explains to them about the consequence of not being prepared if someone tries to kidnap or even kill Jinx or her.

#### Etheric Researcher

Anne gets an idea for her first project, how to disperse kinetic energy to the Etheric and then how to store Etheric power.  With Jinx help, they work out what they need to start the research and Adam suggests that she should have her own EI to assist her.

Both Anne and Jinx went back into the Pod-doc to have upgrades installed to facilitate communications with Seshat, including tiny cameras in their eye-balls so that she can see what they are see.

Anne discovers that she can “teleport” through the Etheric and take Jinx along for the ride, but after ending up in an area of the park that was being “rained” on, she decided that she had to figure out a safer way.

Anne discovers she can channel energy into industrial rubies creating incredible heat. It does not fit with her desire to build better armor but realizes it could be weaponized. She and Jinx go to Jean Dukes and demonstrate the energy transfer. Jean understands the potential but is not equipped to deal with an Etheric based weapon. Jean recommends that Anne build up a research team to help her develop her ideas similar to what Team BMW does.

Before following up on Jean's suggestion, Anne goes to BA to show her progress, review Jean's recommendation and get feedback. BA is impressed and recommends that in addition to BMW, Anne checks with Frank Kurns for potential candidates for her team. She also recommends Anne run the candidates by Barnabas for a final review. Barnabas does approve of Stevie, he gives Anne sage advice on how best to work with a security team.

When Anne is trying to line up her Research team, after visiting with Team BMW, Anne and Jinx are accosted by three aliens that want Jinx.  The duo taught the aliens a lesson but Bethany Anne decided that they need their own Security Team. Bethany Anne asks Peter to assign security to them. He gets counseling from Jennifer Ericson that they would be better served by females who would have more empathy for a teenage girl's needs and could go where male guards couldn't. He doesn't have female Weres available but in the Marines are Abby and Ethel, cousins who were in the Israel Defensive Force. Following standard Guardian protocol there is a Were assigned with the team is Arthur Connors.

Bethany Anne goes to Anne's apartment to get an update on her progress. The two of them try energizes 2 Rubies that are in proximity of each other resulting in an explosion that destroys Anne's apartment. BA is able to shift everyone out of the apartment before anyone is injured and brings them back safely to the corridor outside the apartment. She decides Anne needs a research facility off the QBBS Meredith Reynolds before any more research on the Rubies. Seshat identifies a mineral rich asteroid that could be moved to a reasonable distance from the MR. Creating space within the asteroid would extract enough minerals to pay for cost of the equipment needed to establish Anne's research center.

Administration:

* Frank Kurns (initially sets everything up)

Research Team:

* Stevie / Stephanie Kasyanov (Were)

Security Team:

* Cousins that were former Israeli Defense Force (IDF), now Marines
	+ Abigail “Abby” Himmel  (Marine)
	+ Ethel aka “E”  Brenner
* Arthur Connors (Were)'

#### Etheric Explorer

Anne’s team starts to develop their own company that they will create industrial gems as a cover for their more important research.  The company is named JASS inc., for Jax, Anne, Stephanie, Seshat. Seshat has become a full AI.  After the explosion in Anne’s old apartment when Bethanie Anne was helping Anne with an experiment, Bethanie Anne has ordered all future testing be removed to a safer location that won’t endanger the Meredith Reynolds.  As a result a smaller Astroid is moved into a trailing orbit to the Meredith Reynolds and Sashat will remotely operate the machines that will hollow it out and process the raw materials. The new Asteroid was named 3PO by Bethany Anne.

Bethany Anne finds Anne being pummeled in the training area by request so Anne and Jinx can figure out how to continue fighting when they injured. BA is reminded she specifically precluded combat upgrades the last time Anne and Jinx with in the Pod-doc. BA realizes that was a mistake and send the two back into the Pod-doc for the combat upgrades.

Anne continues to have nightmares over killing the alien who had tried to kidnap Jinx. She has an unexpected breakthrough at her therapist session when she becomes able to read minds and sees the therapist is more interested in toying with her than curing her, something the therapist has done to other patients too. Anne goes Vampire and BA comes to the office to watch the show, assuring the therapist she is going to be punished for her activities.

Genevieve "Gina" Hamilton is the mother of the boy Jinx saved in Etheric Researcher. She is at wits end to keep her job and keep her son Joey safe. In desperation she contacts Jinx and Anne. Anne volunteers to babysit Joey for that afternoon. but fo a long term solution asks Gina to join Anne’s company as a “Girl Friday” or gopher and in charge of the company run Day Care. As Anne is getting ready to leave she asks about getting a stuffed dog for Joey since he obviously loves Jinx. Gina says no one is making stuffed dogs on the station.

Anne gets the idea to create stuff dogs and action figures based on Bethanie Anne, the Queen’s Bitches and Ashur and the pups.  While Anne and Jinx is back in the Pod-doc for combat upgrades,  Seshat asked Adam about the possibility of manufacturing the action figures and why they have to keep it quite from Bethany Anne, Adam said that he Tom would fund their initial financial needs for equal value of stock in JASS, but they wouldn’t be able to help any further so they can maintain deniability.

Dan, a Were at Anne's school, tries to poison Jinx for Anne rejecting his offer for a date. She is about to attack him when he defends his actions as not serious because Jinx is just an animal. Anne calls in Bethany Anne so adjudicate the question. Jinx demands trial by combat, Dan agrees and shifts to attack Jinx. Jinx thoroughly beats Dan and finishes the fight with biting off 3" of his tail. If the tail doesn't grow back he'll be Stubby, if it does he'll be Tippy. Anne sentences Dan to 5 years as a Guardian recruit working under Peter which BA agrees to.

Anne asks Cheryl Lynnto help train Gina as an administrative assistant. Cheryl Lynn agrees in exchange for Anne allowing Cheryl's daughter, Tina Grimes to work for JASS.

Bethany Anne asks Gabrielle to train Anne in the use of a sword. Gabrille starts with the katana but Anne decides she wants a broadsword. Jean Dukes commits to making a weapon and scabbard for Anne. The sword is made from the same material as her armor and is about 4' 4" long counting the 10" handle. The scabbard is designed to accomodate Anne's 5' 4" height. Jean warns Anne not to practice against traditional swords like the katanas as her sword will slice through them.
