Brown

Doctor Alison Coran is a recurring character in QIA. She was a psychiatrist working for the London Hub, until she was fired for stealing flumazenil in January 2020.

## Biography

### Personal Life

Coran had a son, Neil, who joined the Army and was posted in Saudi Arabia in the Tabuk conflict. He came back suffering from PTSD, and later became dependent on lorazepam. To wean him from the drugs, Coran began stealing flumazenil, a tapering drug, from the Hub. However, she was caught and later fired; later that same day, Coran came home to discover that Neil had hung himself ("Milcha").

### Work at The London Hub

Doctor Coran served at the Hub as a psychiatrist and counsellor. Following the mission to Berlin and Sarah Cunnington's collapse into catatonia, Doctor Coran debriefed Sarah and eventually declared her still fit for duty. ("Manchester")

In December 2019, Coran told Sarah that the effects of Jumping can, in rare cases, sometimes affect females' menstrual cycles. She also told Sarah that it's possible that her body would return to normal after a while, but that it was quite likely that she would not be able to have children ("Ethan").

*However, this was subsequently disproved, as Sarah later became pregnant.* ("Sides", "Justice")

During the conversation regarding fertility, Sarah also noted that Coran may or may not be stealing drugs from the Hub ("Ethan"). It later transpired that she had indeed been stealing drugs, in order to help her son wean off his addiction to lorazepam, but after Hall found this out, she was fired ("Milcha").

A month or so later, Coran had set up her own psychiatry practice, *Well Minds*, but by February 2020 she only had two clients. Around this time, Coran was approached by DCI Rupa Kalsi, who asked her about Sarah and her blackouts, and about her work at the London Hub. ("Misdirection")

### Return

In November 2022, almost three years after she had been fired, Erik Draper asked Coran to return to London Hub to tend to the psychiatric and psychological needs of Ethan Taylor and Sarah Cunnington, both of whom had spent two years in the Void. ("Resurrection")

Coran continued to treat both Ethan and Sarah, though the latter was in much greater need, and later also Hayden Kemp, who was suffering from depression after being partially paralysed. ("Moscow")

Secretly though, Coran harboured resentment against Sarah, whom she blamed for her firing and for the death of her son, and as such she had been prescribing her patient hallucinogens and steadily increasing the dosage, which almost caused Sarah to commit suicide. However, Tom Burt discovered this and duped her by claiming to have given Hayden some of Sarah's medication, which led Coran to panic and the truth to come out. As she was placed under arrest by Enora Gallou, Dietrich Kruger casually informed her that it had not been Sarah at all who had told Hall about her stealing flumazenil from the Hub, but him. ("Ghosts")

Coran was later imprisoned for her crimes. ("Bell")
