Janice takes care of the Daedalus' IT requirements. She manages NERON's regular psychological breakdowns and put the A-TRUE protocol in place, which allows the central computer to name its own administrator. Janice also manages the psychological needs of the crew of the Daedalus. She is generally skilled in social interactions, including those with aliens, which is also a personal interest of hers as she likes to study alien cultures.

How to play

Janice's gameplay revolves around keeping the crew morale as high as possible. She is also the default NERON Admin and will be asked to adjust the various settings. On top of all this, her personal glory requires her to go on expeditions to meet extra-terrestrial lifeforms.

Bronze Tips

Shrink: Best source of morale in the game. Also the most reliable way of curing psychological damage. Taking any other skill will cause everyone to laugh at your incompetence and/or assume you're Mush.

Silver Tips

Shrink / IT Expert: Provides two free action points that will most likely be spent on NERON Projects. Take this over NERON's best friend if crew activity is minimal.

Shrink / NERON's only friend: Improves the efficiency of every point of AP put into the Nexus. Take this over IT Expert if you have a lot of crew members helping out.

Shrink / Diplomat: Sacrifices NERON Projects for better expedition outcomes. Worth taking if there is no blueprint for the Babel-Translator. Also comes with the handy Ceasefire ability which could possibly save you or another crew member's life!

Gold Tips

Janice gets her primary set of skills by level four. Radio Expert requires you to hang out at the bridge and not the dorms and Self-sacrifice only comes into play if you allow your morale to hit rock bottom.

Useful tips

• Try to end each cycle in the dorms to provide constant morale for your crew.
• Some characters do not regularly use the dormitory bedding. Seek them out and give them a comforting hug!
• Janice cannot boost her own morale, so she relies on Jin Su's speeches or fruit from Ian's garden to stay happy.

Bug: As opposed to her description of being a diplomat and ethnologist, Janice gains 3 not only from meeting intelligent life, but every time she encounters any form of alien, which includes shooting cows and being bitten by spiders. This can help you rack up insane amounts of glory from going on expeditions.

Biography

3128 

Born on Callisto.

3132 

Janice enrolls in cyber-elementary school on Callisto. She learns at a very early age how to negociate FGUI interfaces and at the age of 6 she built a rudimentary database of recipes for Mother's Day.

3143 

Under the influence of a group of alter-universalist pirates, Janice develops the Radish program which will be used to pirate the accounts of large corporations such as Lisegan-Cash and InHumanFinancial. When she discovers that she has been manipulated, Janice decides to reinforce the security of her applications by developing a unique protection system which is based on the trust existing between the program and the user.

3145 

To earn her qualification in Cyber-Psychology on Ganymede, Janice studied human and robot psychology for two years at the faculty of Cognitive Sciences at Bacchus IV.

3147 

She left for university, where she met Terrence Archer a robotics student. He proposes that she puts a learning script in place and that she applies her security protocol ( A-TRUE ) to his drones.

3148 

Janice Kent and Terrence Archer are awarded the Redmoon Prize for their invention of an intelligent drone capable of interpreting and storing new instructions as it evolves. They decide to continue their project on Callisto where Janice's family live.

3150 

During a mission on Jupiter, an analysis of NERON, a jumped-up calculator, offers Janice an exciting new field of study. Its incredible calculating power make it a conscious entity capable of exploiting its own train of thought without any human intervention. NERON, until that point, had developped a profound dislike for its creators, but nonetheless accepted to recommence its calculation work on condition that the A-TRUE protocol is engaged for the duration of the project.

3151 

Janice tries to optimize NERON's thinking processes but the infernal regularity of the PILGRED reactor tests carried out by researcher Raluca Tomescu monopolize the unit's processing power.

3152 

Following a reduction of its workload, NERON sees its processing requirement drop to 75%. Thus, its capacities for evolution are considerably improved. Janice contacts Terrence to ask him to build drones capable of completing the construction of the Daedalus on schedule.

3154 

While SDF forces attempt to regain control of the base, NERON's A-TRUE protocol is activated. He refuses troops access to buildings thus slowing the army's progression to the interior of Xyloph-17. Janice, who was then the only individual capable of controlling the central computer, frees her colleagues and attempts to transfer essential data to the Daedalus. Several hours later, the ship takes off towards the Magellan galaxy.
