Anne Martin Jones

Anne Martin Jones is the sister of Christine and one of the scientist's relatives who joined them. Anne wasn't part of the group of scientists enlisted by the governor, but her knowledge proved to be useful as well. Anne is a linguist, and managed to translate some of the alien texts they found during a raid in one of the ziggurats. From that, she was able to understand important things about the history of the alliance, and how they came to have multiple races working for them. The book she translated spoke of a war that took place within the alliance, and how the Sovereign that attacked the others to assume the only position of power was punished after his defeat. With this knowledge, they found out important things, like the council of Sovereigns was kept together by common interest and fear, and also techniques about how to successfully counter the alien armies
