Janet Longfellow
Janet Longfellow is an NPC in Arknights. She is first mentioned in Liskarm's Operator Record, Apple Pie Party, Now Waiting!, before appearing as a supporting character in Records of Originium - Blacksteel.
Background[edit]
Longfellow is the head of Blacksteel's Biochemical Protection Response Staff unit, serving as Franka's squad leader while hiding her Oripathic infection from the rest. She and Franka met each other not long after the latter started working as a mercenary following her graduation. [1]
Prior to her days in B.S., Longfellow was a Victorian professor who published a famous scientific article around twenty years ago. In her work, she warned about the severe consequences caused by the increasing pollution from Originium industrial waste across the empire. However, her work received criticism and mockery from both mainstream scientists and the Victorian nobles, which led to her migration to Columbia out of anger caused by humiliation. Longfellow's prediction turned out to be correct, as Victoria's Infected population began to skyrocket over the last decade, arousing worry among both aristocrats and commonfolk.[2] In the Terran year 1083, during the "Barron Mine incident", Longfellow was assigned by the local authorities as a temporary consultant, providing relief services while aiding Blacksteel's mercenaries to rescue the trapped Tower Mountains personnel. Following the incident, she established the B.P.R.S. Unit, initially providing specialized response and prevention against Originium infections. [3]
Story[edit]
Rhodes Island's Records of Originium - Blacksteel[edit]
Following Franka's infection during the Ironforge incident in January 1095, Longfellow had been hiding her Infected status to protect her from discrimination by other B.S. members. However, as the situation worsened, Franka believed that collaboration with Rhodes Island was the only way to mitigate such hatred. Longfellow originally opposed this idea due to the lack of R.I.'s trial clinical reports on Oripathy during its founding years. She also feared that this would expose Franka's Infected status, negatively affecting her employability in B.S. After tedious persuasion by Franka, she finally allowed her squad to join R.I. in the name of collaboration while ensuring Franka received treatment there. [4]
