Meeting K9 Mark 2
June worked for the Department as the head of the Alien Activity section and supervised Alistair Gryffen's work with a Space-Time Manipulator. After the night of the explosion at the Gryffen House, she arrived to question him. She showed him the profile of Stark Reality who was arrested at the night of the explosion, Gryffen (who was hiding Starkey) acted oblivious as to the fact he escaped. She showed him a recording of K9 Mark 2 (who Gryffen was also hiding), she remarked him as "ugly" and that he had a "terrible design". This angered K9 who rised out of his hiding place behind June, as Gryffen argued about his design to reassure K9, he was put down by Starkey before she could notice. She also gave the Professor the directive to catch and turn the robot dog over to the Department and that if he failed or refused his funding for the STM project will be terminated, it will be dismantled and passed on to a more co-operative researcher. Gryffen told her there was no need to do that, she told him she hoped not and that she'd hate to take it away from him, but would if she had to. She then left. (K9TV: Regeneration)
When Darius Pike and Starkey were imprisoned in Dauntless Prison while tracking a Jixen warrior. She came in and told the Governor of the prison, Thorne, that they weren't to be harmed. Thorne was asserted his authority, June then took out Darius' communicator from his pocket and contacted Gryffen who asked her why the Department was imprisoning aliens. She told him that that the aliens would be catalogued and if any of their species committed crimes the Department would then know who to look out for. He argued that what if they're innocent, she replied they couldn't just be allowed to roam through London. Gryffen suggested to have them sent home, June told him that they tried and failed and then hung up. She then offered a proposal to Starkey, if he told her where to find K9 she'll have Starkey and Darius released. While Darius was willing, Starkey refused and so June left them to "enjoy" sharing a cell with Mr. Wiffy. When the Jixen ran riot through the prison Thorne locked himself and June in his office. However when she found out K9 was in the prison she demanded that Thorne release the locks, she took the locking device and unlocked the door herself. She promised Thorne that he would "never darken these doors again", as she left Thorne promised she would pay for this one day. When Darius,Starkey and the aliens were freed by Jorjie, they were stopped by June who told them they were blocked by a forcefield and ordered the aliens to return to their cells. Darius called her a monster, she said that the system worked but Starkey argues she's imprisoning innocent aliens. She said she was doing this for the future, so their children's children will be safe. Starkey asked about her children, she said any child of hers isn't his business. Jorjie then revealed to her that she helped the aliens, June was shocked to see Jorjie here, just as Jorjie was to find she worked for the Department. The Jixen arrived and attacked Starkey and June, K9 tried to fight it but exhausted his firepower. June gave Jorjie the forcefield device and told her to arm it to self-destruct. Darius grabbed it and June tells him to attach it to the Jixen. When the Jixen advanced on him he threw it to Starkey who managed to attach it to the Jixen, killing it.(K9TV: Liberation)
After going clothes shopping with Jorjie she left her to go home and stay safe, Jorjie instead went to give Starkey some food. Jorjie didn't recieve her calls as she was occupied hunting the Korven along with the rest of the team. When June gave her a message she was interrupted by Inspector Drake requested an update on the recent alien activity from her, she declined as she was Head of the Alien Activity section and Drake was the Head of Security, stating she didn't report to him. When Drake asked her about Information-Sharing she replied that it worked on a need to know basis, when she felt he needed to know something she'd share it with him. Drake then told her he would do the same as they're "one big happy Department". (K9TV: The Korven)
The K9 Unit
After Drake's publicity stunt failed and Starkey and K9 were thought to be heroes he blamed the incompetence of June's section as she is responsible of monitoring alien activity and K9 was clearly of alien origin. She said she knew his name, that he came through a time-space portal and that Gryffen was currently examining it. When Drake said she was aware of a dangerous alien yet she failed to alert his section, she said she didn't alert him because K9 wasn't dangerous and on the contrary his technology could be of great value to the Department. Drake agreed and decided to have him apprehended and dismantled so he could learn it's secrets. June said his section had no jurisdiction as K9 posed no security threat. Drake consulted Lomax, he replied by saying he would consider the matter, and ordered them in the meantime to keep doing what they're doing. June assumed he now agreed K9 is under her control, Drake simply agreed to keep doing what he's doing. She came to Gryffen's House and told Gryffen to inform her if Drake came looking for K9. Gryffen told her of his encounter with Ahab and that the kids are hiding K9. She asked him to have Jorjie come home with her, he said he didn't know where she was as they agreed he wouldn't be told so he wouldn't reveal their location even under pressure. She was shocked that her daughter was with a dissident, a petty thief and a suspected murderer and also fearful of what could happen if she was caught in a battle between Ahab and K9. When she found out they were in the sewers she decided to go down there and look but was contacted by Drake who told her that Ahab betrayed him and took K9 and the kids to Gryffen's house. He explained he had an arrangement with Ahab which would have gave the Department access to K9's technology. She decided from now on all matters concerning K9 would be handled by her section and she couldn't afford for Drake to keep doing what he's doing. She arrived at Gryffen's house after they defeated Ahab, saying that K9 is under the control of the Department. Her section and not security, she gave Gryffen responsibility of K9 and made K9 and the team the Official "K9 Unit". (K9TV: The Bounty Hunter)
June was shocked to find that Jorjie threw a stone at a CCPC, she confronted her about this in her bedroom. She was even more shocked that she was complaining of a headache after nearly getting killed. Jorjie said the CCPC was using a strange weapon, June had no idea why Jorjie did it, why someone who had all the freedom they could possibly have do such a thing. Jorjie said she wasn't rebelling against anything, she was rebelling against the right to rebel. When June suspected Starkey, Jorjie said she could think for herself and the CCPCs don't arrest for that, yet. She said she was just bored as it was a Sunday, June warned that she should have a better explanation once Drake dragged her to juvinile court. June talked to Drake about the weapon, he said it was a submission device called the inhibitor. (K9TV: Sirens of Ceres)
Other Information
- June liked to go clothes shopping with Jorjie, Jorjie thought it was so she could supervise the clothes she bought but June looked on it more as "advising, strongly advising". (K9TV: The Korven)
Personality
As a member of the Department, June was a staunch believer in obeying the law, although she could choose to disobey a law if she felt it was wrong or unjust. She was of high moral character, and as such despised the immoral actions of Drake, Thorne and Lomax. She was often quite strict with her daughter, much to Jorjie's annoyance, but this was out of love and concern rather than malice; June admitted at one point she would never stop worrying, and she revealed to Drake that she had stayed in the Department to prevent his world from ever existing.
