## Biography

### Personality

Megan is by nature over-protective. She is attracted to dominant, muscular men, but can hold her own with them and is not afraid of conflict. She longs for children.

In crises, especially when one of the unit members is wounded or in distress, she fights for them like a lioness.

Megan is a perfect organizer and runs the administration of the unit well. Megan would like to wrap Amber in cotton-wool and protect her from any risk, even from unpleasant knowledge. As a counselor, Megan can be opinionated and nosy.

### Early Years

On teen level, Megan had a boyfriend who encouraged her to play teen games, and who was later assigned to Hive Defense. She reached the level of Colonel in those games, the highest possible rank except for champion.

Megan came out of Lottery at the same time as Keith and served as a Deputy Administrator in his unit for 13 years. Within two months she married Dean, one of the Strike Team members. They were just at the point when they were ready to have children when he died on an emergency run when Keith's telepathy cut out.

### Work History

Before working for Amber, Megan was deputy to the leader of Keith's Administrative Team. She has over a decade of experience.

### Unit Responsibilities

Megan is in charge of the administration of Amber's Unit|Amber's Telepath Unit]], including recruitment, and also of safeguarding Amber's health and psyche. Megan is a qualified physician herself, and has a medical unit under her which takes care of any illness or injury in the Unit, including routine surgery.

Her work profile includes counseling the telepath; Lottery chooses people with over-protective tendencies for her position, who can even substitute for the telepath's parents to some extent. However, her approach is not suitable for Amber, and this role is taken over by Buzz during *Defender*.

## Summary

### Telepath

Megan administers most of the tests that awaken Amber's talent, takes her to Hive Futura and breaks the news of her Lottery result. Hers is the the first mind that Amber reads, and she is deeply affected by Megan's mourning of her deceased husband. Adika is attracted to Megan but pushes too hard, causing some emotional distress that affects Amber too. After Fran's firing, Megan tries to resign but Amber does not accept that. In the final part of the book, when Eli is badly injured, Megan gets him to a specialist team immediately.

### Defender

Megan's rejection of Adika continues to cause problems, causing Megan to resign once more. Lucas and Amber recruit a replacement counselor that better fits with Amber's needs and personality. However, Megan once again proves that she can support Amber in ways that others can not during the aftermath of the catastrophic fire which injures two team members. Amber persuades Megan to stay on, but Megan has decided to have her late husband's child (or possibly twins) so will have to delegate more responsibility, she can still fulfill her main role of administering the unit. She and Adika become engaged, but will not marry until after she gives birth.

### Hurricane

Megan comes along on the Sea Farm mission and assists Atticus in surgery of a badly injured person from another Hive's fishing fleet.

### Borderline

Megan is now pregnant with twins, and recruits another deputy. She also organizes the rapid installation of a small private park which will help Amber fight off fragmentation.

### Adversary

Megan tears herself apart trying to fulfill what she thinks is her responsibilities toward her late husband's family and her future with Adika and stresses everyone out around her. When Amber discovers that Keith tracked down where Megan was over New Year's so he could get close enough to read her mind and discover all of Amber's deepest fears, she is livid and has even a harder time coping with Megan.

Buzz tells Megan and some of the other's that are near by about the insight she had received from Amber's mother, when Megan had disrupted the Circle of Life service and then reminds everyone that as level 1 they should be setting a good example for everyone else at the celebrations.

When Megan tries to rearrange Amber's entry into the sports event that her mother had submitted her for and then tells her about the alternate arrangements she made for avoiding the opening events for the Revels, Amber chews her out and stalks off. When Megan tries to tell Buzz that she shouldn't have said anything about her insight in front of others, Lucas orders Megan to apologize to Amber's Mother and then to get out of Blue Zone. Megan does apologize and then her and Adika leave Amber's celebration, but the next day they return to tell Amber about Morton's emergency operation.
