Brittany

A mysterious woman encountered on the Voss Campus who Sammy initially believed might be a celebrity. She is extraordinarily athletic — fast enough to beat Sammy in an obstacle course race even when he was wearing a power suit. She moves through the course with an ease that suggests extensive familiarity with military-grade physical training.

Known Abilities

Self-Duplication: Brittany can create multiple copies of herself by clapping her hands. One clap produces a second Brittany; a second clap produces four. The duplicates appear identical and apparently independent. The mechanism — fragment power, psionics, or something else — is unknown.

Key Events

• Raced Sammy on the obstacle course twice (once unsuited, once while he wore power armour). Won both times.
• Visited Sammy’s quarters that evening, expressing jealousy about his conversation with Mary Jane.
• Demonstrated her duplication power in Sammy’s room before spending the night.
• Was gone before morning.

Session 05 Update

Brittany appeared at the team briefing alongside Major Jenkins’ second team (Jenkins, Miller, Thompson). She had shaved her head entirely to fit her combat helmet — confirming she is now an official member of Jenkins’ operational team and wears a Voss Combat Suit.

During the briefing, she demonstrated her power at an unprecedented scale: clapping her hands and producing eight identical copies of herself, all of which stared down Sammy and demanded to know “if she was the only one.” Sammy replied with composure that he supposed she was now. Seven copies vanished.

Later, Brittany followed the team to Las Vegas during their 48-hour pass. She arrived at the Medieval Times parking lot during the insect attack with multiple duplicates, all firing at the swarm while screaming Sammy’s name and berating him for abandoning her. Her emotional state during the combat was furious.

Known Abilities (Updated)

Self-Duplication: Upper limit now confirmed at minimum eight copies from a single clap activation. Copies appear identical, independent, and capable of independent combat actions (firing weapons). Copies can be dismissed at will.

Open Questions

• Is she fragment-empowered? A Voss experiment? Something else entirely? Still unknown mechanism, but she is now a confirmed Voss operative.
• Why is she on the base? She is an official member of Jenkins’ team.
• What does she want from Sammy? Is this obsession, genuine feeling, or something else?
• How did she follow the team to Vegas? Did she have orders, or did she go AWOL?
• Can her duplicates operate independently at long range, or must they stay near the original?
• How many can she produce in rapid succession during sustained combat?
