After learning that she possessed unique physical abilities that superseded those of baseline humans, Janissary visited a moons parlor, [[Sharfie's]] to try her hand at the game. There she ended up saving a man about to be murdered by a gang by beating its leader, Thin Kinkle, in moons. Later, she was approached by a man who had a friend, [[Gene Lindsey]], interested in joining Kinkle's gang. The man told her that his friend was supposed to prove himself by doing something they could hold over him forever, namely a rape. The man asked if Jan could offer any help to his friend, and Jan agreed to intervene in the situation.She rescued the would-be rape victim and gravely injured everyone involved. After this, Thin Kinkle somehow managed to kidknap her in retaliation and bring her to his base of operations. The gangster proceeded to torture his captive with a device called a [[Cupid's Knife]]. Her father attempted to rescue her, but was captured as well. Kinkle shot and killed him in front of Janissary. As soon as Jan's situation came to the attention of Durga and Jersey, Durga remotely shut down all the security apparatus at the location. This allowed Gilly, Jan's mother, and a former [[Spartan-I]], to infiltrate the building and rescue her daughter, killing everyone else inside in the process. Only Thin Kinkle himself managed to escape. At the funeral for Jim, Jersey approached Jan and told her everything Durga had unearthed about Kinkle and who he worked for: the mob boss, [[Monster Ann]]. With this knowledge, [[Gladys Wilson]], Gilly, and her daughter went to the [[Crystal Security]] building and Gilly personally killed both individuals. | After learning that she possessed unique physical abilities that superseded those of baseline humans, Janissary visited a moons parlor, [[Sharfie's]] to try her hand at the game.
