June Turner: Difference between revisions

June employed the services of [[Alistair Gryffen]], installed at a [[police station]] ([[TV]]: {{cs|Regeneration (TV story)}}) owned by the Department following the creation of the CCPC, ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Last Precinct (TV story)}}) to research alien technology such as the [[Space-Time Manipulator]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Regeneration (TV story)}})

June was aware of an explosion at Gryffen's mansion and correctly believed that it was connected to the appearance of [[K9 Mark 2]], who was caught on surveillance the following day and whom she believed to be a [[weapon]], albeit an ugly and ungainly one with a "terrible design". She ordered Gryffen to find, capture and hand K9 over to the Department and threatened to pull him off the time-space project if he failed to do so, something she claimed she would hate to do but would if necessary. She was also aware of the [[arrest]] and escape of [[Starkey]] and asked whether Gryffen had seen him, unaware that Gryffen was harbouring him. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Regeneration (TV story)}})

After Starkey and [[Darius Pike]] were imprisoned in [[Dauntless Prison]], June informed them that [[Thorne]] had the right to do so without [[criminal charge|charging]] them and promised to release them immediately if they gave up the location of K9. A [[Jixen]] later attacked the prison in search of Starkey and Thorne, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Liberation (TV story)}}) who had become part-[[Meron]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Eclipse of the Korven (TV story)}}) refused to let June leave his [[office]] even when she saw that K9 had arrived. She promised that his career was over and went after K9, finding that Jorjie had befriended him, Starkey and Darius and helped the alien prisoners escape. She then helped kill the Jixen with her [[arm unit]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Liberation (TV story)}})

June took Jorjie [[shopping]] for [[clothes]], an activity that they did not often do together but which she enjoyed, before heading to work. She tried to call Jorjie later without success and hoped that her unavailability was due to her being busy with her [[homework]]. Her voice message was interrupted by [[Drake (Liberation)|Drake]], whose questions about the recent surge in alien arrivals she avoided answering by claiming that she had no reason to share any information on the subject with him but would do so if that changed. Drake agreed to operate on the same principle. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Korven (TV story)}})

After K9 and Starkey ruined an attempt by Drake to get good publicity for the Department, Drake accused June's section of being incompetent and ignorant of K9, prompting her to reveal that she knew K9's name and whereabouts and that she believed that he could be an asset. [[Lomax (The Bounty Hunter)|Lomax]] ordered them to continue with their work whilst he decided which of them had jurisdiction over K9, so June paid a visit to Gryffen and learnt that [[Ahab]] was hunting K9 for [[murder]]. Angered by Drake's attempt to work with Ahab, June formed the [[K9 Unit]] to protect K9 and to ensure that Gryffen kept Jorjie safe. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Bounty Hunter (TV story)}})

The K9 Unit meant that K9 was protected from Drake, but June did not like Jorjie's association with Starkey and believed that he was responsible for her increasingly rebellious behaviour, culminating in her throwing a [[stone]] at a [[CCPC]]. June managed to keep her out of [[pre-hearing detention]] and agreed with Drake's suggestion that she send her to [[Magdalen Academy]] to save her from a criminal record, a decision she was surprised to learn that Starkey took no issue with. She correctly suspected that Drake's [[Inhibitor]] contained alien technology, which she believed would be embarrassing for the Department if it were to be made public that alien technology was being used on citizens.
