Pal Kenzy

**Pal Kenzy** was an inspector for the International Space Police Force.

### Working for the ISPF

Kenzy started her career with the ISPF as an inspector on the Coral Sea space station. She liaised regularly with her colleagues David Theroux and Stephenson about their applications for the Commander position. Despite applying herself, the position went to Nathan Spring. (TV: *An Instinct for Murder*)

#### Fired and rehired

One of Nathan Spring's first acts as Commander of the ISPF was to fish out all of the bent coppers and fire them. He sent Colin Devis undercover to test Kenzy. Not knowing this, Kenzy came to the ISPF office to show her a new weapon that had been developed for the High Frontier. This was not the reason why Kenzy had been called to the office. She was shown footage of Devis, posing as a man who was struggling to provide for his family. Kenzy was caught on tape showing no remorse for his situation, and demanding cash to keep him in his job. Spring showed her the footage shortly before firing her. With Kenzy out, she took her weapon with her.

Concerned about what that weapon could so, he sent Devis Earthside to procure all of the weapons they could, thus leaving Kenzy without contacts. Kenzy was angry when she found that Devis had booked the seat next to her on their flight out into space. Not long into the flight, the flight deck was hijacked. Together, she and Devis came up with a plan where Devis would act as a bumbling punter, who would pull the hostess into safety and Kenzy would take out the hijackers. She did this successfully with the weapon from earlier, which she had smuggled aboard. Later, in an interview for TWBC News, she stated that she was still ISPF and stated that it was all thanks to Spring's plan to station them there based on a tip-off, much to Spring's annoyal. Watching the interview from the Moonbase office, Spring stated that Kenzy had clearly reinstated herself. (TV: *Intelligent Listening for Beginners*)

### Officer for the Australian Police Force

At some point, Kenzy left the ISPF to join the Australian police force. (AUDIO: *The Thousand Ton Bomb*)

### War Against the Collective

During a Moon Rover trip with Devis, Spring recalls his life before Star Cops, and how Star Cops has expanded into the furthest reaches of space. He recalls how Kenzy was there even before he was, having worked as an officer for the ISPF. His rundown of his team was interrupted by Kenzy herself, who informed him of the suspicious death of Sonia Garrett. (WC: *Star Cops The High Frontier*)

With Spring in the temporary position of Acting Moonbase Coordinator, and with Priya Basu currently indesposed, the role of Acting Chief Superintendent fell to Kenzy. When Moonbase engineer Sonia Garrett died from suffocation, following her spacesuit being tampered, Kenzy was tasked to go through all of Garrett's extensive video logs, and cross-reference CCTV, to find evidence or a viable suspect. When the suspects were whittled down, only former television presenter turned meteorologist Xander O'Brien was left. With the technical knowhow, he quickly became their prime suspect. However, when officers Devis and Bailey went to question him, he explained that he had a perfect alibi, which could be corroborated by one of her fellow ISPF officers. Nevertheless, both she and Spring persisted and found out that the instrument used to tear Garrett's suit had O'Brien's fingerprints all over them. Back on his space station, Devis and Bailey uncover a bomb in O'Brien's shuttle. Failing to disarm it or manually remove the shuttle, O'Brien steals Devis' weapon and comms unit and detached the shuttle, with himself inside.

He then explained to Spring via the comms unit that he was a dead man already. He went on to explain that he had met with a shadowy organisation that had blackmailed him to murder Garrett. Failing them would result in the death of his daughter. Spring broke the news that they had already gone back on their promise and had murdered his daughter the night before. Moments before his death, Garrett gave the team the name of this organisation - the Collective, but died before he could give them more information. Kenzy raised a glass of orange juice to Sonia Garrett back in the ISPF office. (AUDIO: *Dead Air*)

Shortly after, Kenzy was sent to investigate the kidnapping of Mark Robinson on the Icarus station. He had last been seen six days prior, heading to his quarters. Everyone on the space station had received an image of him held hostage by a masked person, but no cameras aboard the station showed him leaving via the airlock. Kenzy went to Icarus station to learn more about Robinson and the purpose of the station, and made it very clear that she intended to search his room with a fine toothcomb, and that should the camera footage be right, she would find Robinson and his kidnapper. (AUDIO: *Hostile Takeover*)

*[Death in the Desert to be added here]*

With her previous leave cancelled due to increased activity with the Collective, Kenzy was back on the Moon, her leave taken by Devis. Kenzy found herself pulled into a strange case of failed dosimeters, leaving numerous people in sickbay with radiation poisoning. The case turned even more dangerous when she received help from Jennifer Kyne of Procurement, who helped her with her investigation. She soon found out that the procurement of dosimeters was now being controlled on Earth, and that the records were being changed in realtime. With Kyne failing to pick up on the warnings from the Collective, they delivered her an acid cake, causing her death.

Working with Devis, who was in Liverpool, they discovered a link between the docks and the dosimeters. Having thwarted the Collective's plans to murder Paul in a boating incident, the Collective then murdered Paul's mother with another acid cake, warning them to investigate no further should they wish no more people to die. Back on Moonbase, Paul and Spring both agreed that Kenzy deserved her week off, with Spring having already scheduled it in for next week. (AUDIO: *Old Flame, New Fire*)

## Personality

Pal Kenzy was a fun, lively and radiant woman but with a short temper. She would eagerly show her displeasure at any job she thought menial, below her status or downright pointless. Nonetheless, Kenzy was loyal, trusting and always faithful to the ISPF and to Spring himself. Even after being kept in the dark by Spring regarding Inspectors Paul Bailey and Priya Basu's secret assignment on Mars, she and Devis reached the conclusion that Spring kept them in the dark to protect them and their careers, despite them not liking it.

Kenzy was also not a woman who allowed herself to be spoken down to by a man. In a world filled with sexists like Colin Devis, Kenzy was never short of a few words to say to them. She was always ready to prove that she was worth two of them, especially Devis.

## Skills and abilities

During the hijacking of a space shuttle, Kenzy showed herself to be a team player, as she and Devis came up with a plan to rescue the hostess and take out the hijackers. It was clear that Kenzy had the smarts, the bravery and the skill to accurately take out numerous hijackers, while catching any dangerous weapon they should throw, and protect the travellers at all cost.

* After leaving the ISPF, Kenzy joined the Australian police force. She was subsequently sought after by Nathan Spring following the opening of the Mother Earth investigations and rehired.
