# Her pheromones are more potent than a human's, but not half so much as a full orion female's. Their potency increases as her body temperature increases (due to concentrating in her sweat), when in the presence of competing pheromones, and also when she is ovulating. | # Her pheromones are more potent than a human's, but not half so much as a full orion female's. Their potency increases as her body temperature increases (due to concentrating in her sweat), when in the presence of competing pheromones, and also when she is ovulating. Despite their comparative weakness, her pheromones have gotten her into trouble on more than one occasion, so she uses a daily dose of hormone suppressants to keep them at a minimal level. | ||
# The particular blending of Orion and Human genes that produced Katy's father Mark (and continued in Katy herself) produced an ability to see a little way into the ultraviolet. Other than extra enjoyment of the appearance of many flowers and a few insects, this has little impact on her life. | # The particular blending of Orion and Human genes that produced Katy's father Mark (and continued in Katy herself) produced an ability to see a little way into the ultraviolet.

Katy's office is on deck 512, the same deck as one of the main security offices, near the main brig. It is still sparsely-furnished and has three doors - a door to the corridor outside, a door to the adjoining security office, and (most vital of all, in Katy's thinking) a door to a small private lavatory. The second door she often keeps in open position, just to facilitate interaction with the other security officers on duty. | Katy's office is on deck 512, the same deck as one of the main security offices, near the main brig.

<br><br>Her office on the Victory is somewhat smaller. It is located on deck 9, just around the corner from the Brig and down the hall from the Armoury, and features the most comfortable chair Katy has ever sat in. | |||

Her quarters are a cozy one-bedroom apartment on deck 905, which doesn't really look lived-in yet.

She's too used to living out of a rucksack to have filled it with much stuff yet. Due to not being home very often, it's fairly messy, with discarded laundry lying about randomly. Her kitchen, however, is spotless, due to its state of pretty-much-never-being-used. | ||
<br><br>On the Victory, her quarters are on Deck 9, amidst the crew quarters. The rooms are practically bare (most of her personal effects and decorations having been removed). | |||
<br><br>Both iterations of her quarters do have what she considers to be the two most important features of living-space - a big, sturdy bed for flopping down (and occasionally jumping) on, and a lavatory with a real, honest-to-goodness shower. | |||

<p>Katy was born in the third generation of the Orman Group, a line marriage based on Ganymede whose members are also a think-tank/research group on artificial intelligence and its related fields. She was educated at home by her whole (very large) family and their close associates, and she was an avid learner. As a result, she gained a great depth and breadth of knowledge quite young. </p> | <p>Katy was born in the third generation of the Orman Group, a line marriage based on Ganymede whose members are also a think-tank/research group on artificial intelligence and its related fields.

<p>Perhaps ironically, the person Katy ended up gravitating to the most was not an 'official' part of the family at all, but an associate who lived in the complex throughout most of her childhood and early teens. She called him her uncle, and from him she learned skills more martial and esoteric than she had learned from her 'real' family. </p> | <p>Perhaps ironically, the person Katy ended up gravitating to the most was not an 'official' part of the family at all, but an associate who lived in the complex throughout most of her childhood and early teens.

<p>In the Academy Katy at last felt on track. Having found the entrance exam to be non-challenging, she was pleased to encounter a great many classes that stretched her mental and physical abilities to the limit, and indeed made her find new limits beyond those. There was a welcoming multicultural aspect as well, which she found very pleasing. Most of all, she was buoyed by the sense of purpose that she found in all of her fellow serious students. It was, put simply, ideal.</p> | <p>In the Academy Katy at last felt on track.

<p>She finished her classes with high grades in most subjects (a few, like piloting and navigation, she never did get the hang of and just managed a passing grade there) and a specialisation in security, and it was with a nervous anticipation that she boarded the ship for SB118 for her cadet training mission.</p> | |||
