## Background

Oralynn Brooker Lane (born 28 October 2435) is an Orinian intelligence operative working with the 37th Administration of the Federated Galactic States under her husband, President Nolan Allison. Formerly, she worked as an operative in Ben Halsey's Quell force from 2459 until becoming an administrator under Allison's directorate at Masson Station in 2465, which itself lasted until 2477.

## Biography

### Birth and early life

Oralynn is the elder and surviving twin, with her sister, Estra, having died as part of Ben Halsey's Quell Force shortly before the Nophira Incident in 2468. She was raised within the upper wards of Trinity Tower and attended Masson Station's general university with a scholarship for Operative Intelligence, having been picked as a candidate for the Quell Force.

### Ben Halsey's Quell Force

Oralynn worked with Ben Halsey and the other nine active members of the 19th Division Quell Force from 2459 until 2465, when she elected to retire from the position to pursue a more leisurely position within the functional framework of Masson Station when she was picked out as a technical leader within the crew by the incoming director. This ultimately lead to her work on secure machine bases for artificial intelligence within Project SOUL and several other classified projects aboard the station between then and the station's destruction in 2477.

### Masson Station's 7th Directorate

Incoming station director Nolan Allison conversed with Ben Halsey regarding high level individuals that could be used for ensuring the stability of both the station and his crew when forming the 7th Masson Station Directorate. Ben originally picked both of the twins, with each of them possessing similar skills for their similar work and education background. Needing only one, Nolan let the twins prove themselves in an array of tasks outlined as necessary for the station's functions, and found Oralynn to have an edge over her twin in station affairs, leaving Estra to the Quell Force task unit.

Oralynn's relationship with the direction would grow over the next year, often finding themselves in non-work settings. When asked for the official record after Nolan's election to the presidency in 2479, Oralynn said neither recognized themselves as *being a thing* until long after they started seeing each other, and pinned their anniversary as the day of their first date, August 20th 2466. The two would marry in a private ceremony on that day in 2472.

Oralynn would operate as the station's high security chief from the formation of the cabinet on January 31st 2465 until vacating the station system in the mass evacuation resultant from the August 29th 2477 Masson Station Incident.

### The 37th Administration

As a previously serving high security chief, Oralynn's post as First Lady to the Federate was met with criticisms from media and political correspondents as she enabled herself to work within the Federate as a cabinet official alongside her husband. In a news conference at the President's Stable shortly after the cabinet had been solidified, Oralynn said *the fact that I am married to the man you elected as president does not make me a pet at his side, we share many of the same views, which is why we are what we are, but he is not to me, nor am I to him, a yes-man, and in these positions, such things are unacceptable.* She denied further comments from the reporter for the rest of the conference.
