Agamya Akhtar

Agamya Akhtar (PROSE: The Last Few Pages) was a member of P.R.O.B.eE under Giles.

Origins
Agamya was born in Bangladesh. (AUDIO: Broken Bonds) Her grandfather read her stories when she was a girl. She was Muslim. (PROSE: The Door We Forgot)

Joining P.R.O.B.E.
At some point, Agamya was the victim of a traumatic kidnapping. The Preternatural Research Bureau helped rescue her and she came to live in England as a refugee, being officially made a part of the P.R.O.B.E. team shortly after. (AUDIO: Broken Bonds)

When Archie MacTavish died Agamya brought Giles cups of tea every five minutes because she was worried about him. (WC: Manchester)

On 13 February 2019 Agamya told Giles he was being too rash and impulsive when he wanted to leave PROBE to be with Stacey Facade. (WC: Stacey Facade) A "few months" after this incident, she objected strenuously when Tasha Williams and Bedevere brought a captured woman, part of the occult terrorist group Beltane, to P.R.O.B.E. HQ. Despite the woman's dangerous past, she felt some sympathy for her based on her experience of being kidnapped, insisting that no one had the right to hold a woman indefinitely, against her will and without trial. Giles promised that they would hand her off to more regular authorities as soon as they finished trying to get some information about Beltane from her. Agamya was not entirely happy with this compromise, but did not argue further. The issue soon became moot after the woman swallowed a poison capsule to avoid letting anything slip about Beltane's plans, which, as it later turned out, had involved destroying everyone in London, including themselves, very soon already.

On 1 June 2019 Agamya wasn't happy about Varunastra being stored in the PROBE Archive. (WC: Varunastra)

In November 2019, while trying to socialise with one another with mutual awkwardness, Agamya and Maxie both spotted one of the items on the high-security "Dr Smith shelf" giving off a flash of green light. A few days later, Agamya noticed that the item, Box, was gone, and spoke up to Giles about it, accusing Maxie of having stolen it. She was baffled when Giles told her that he had allowed Maxie to take Box off the shelf and try to repair her. Learning that the computer was in fact sentient and alien, Agamya tried to convince Maxie not to repair it, fearing that the A.I. would turn out to be malicious. Maxie persevered, although she was, to a degree, shaken by Agamya's fears.

Things came to a head when the entire P.R.O.B.E. team (minus Bedevere) came along on a mission to Bildbriain Dairies to get her out of H.Q. and help her clear her head. She took Box along, and, after the team found themselves captured by the Greth, Box, now able to communicate through text messages on her screen, convinced Agamya to vouch for her and let Maxie take the risk of fully "freeing" Box, if she thought the possibility of Box saving them was worth the risk. Maxie agreed, bluffing the Greth by playing on her Gendar heritage and getting it to let her connect Box to the internet — though not before ensuring the rest of the team would not overhear her confessing to her nonhuman parentage, which she was still unwilling to share. After Box indeed saved the day, Maxie and Agamya had a talk, agreeing they were friends from now on. (PROSE: Out of the Box)

By 4 April, Agamya was aware of Maxie's alien nature, as was the rest of the team. After Giles walked into HQ to find Maxie Masters unconscious on the floor, he immediately called the rest of the team in. He sent Agamya to search the P.R.O.B.E. Archives for any alien medicines that could help Maxie, although this was in vain. Later, after Maxie became possessed by the Cyberon intelligence and escaped from P.R.O.B.E HQ, Agamya did her best to fill in for Maxie herself as tech support, using CCTV footage to track her down to a dead-end alleway near Clapham Junction. The team hurried there and found an entrance to a cavernous underground chamber where they found a crashed Cyberon pod. After the Cyberon fluid released Maxie so it could inhabit and revive the pilot, the resurrected Cyberon attempted to choke out Tasha and Az, but Giles and Maxie managed to activate the ship's self-destruct, distracting and ultimately destroying the Cyberon while the P.R.O.B.E. members made their escape.
