Corporal Juniper "June" Vega is a soldier stationed on Outpost Black Out, voiced by Syp The Mighty.
Personality
June is a jaded and cynical woman who has a disdain for most of her fellow soldiers on Outpost Black Out, including her sister Nicole. Despite her bad personality, she is always assigned to patrol with her optimistic coworker Geff Rodrigo, whom she dislikes.
Role in Plot
Events of Season 1
In Wish, June briefly listens to her coworker Geff Rodrigo's rant about their uneventful lives, though eventually June walks away from him to somewhere else on Outpost Black Out. In HQ, she insults Geff for trying to call HQ before running off. Later, her coworker Sarah Daws tell June about how she convinced their other coworker and June's sister Nicole to watch of Lord of the Rings before the three entered a discussion over a perceived plot hole. During a moment of silence afterward, Geff approaches the three to take inventory, though June doesn't respond before Geff runs out of the room crying from Nicole and Sarah's rude turning down.
Sometime later, in Machine, June awakens from a long sleep before noticing the deactivated repair droid that had just attacked her boss Mitchell Miller prior alongside her coworkers. After exclaiming the day is too much already and walking away, Miller insulted her without her hearing. Shortly after, in Replacement, June reminisces about Jace Casper's transfer with Sarah and Nicole to Geff before Miller enters to chastise them. Sarah then asks Miller what he's done for humanity lately after he mentions his participation in "the Invasion War". Miller then storms off, much to June's delight.
While on patrol with Geff in Dysfunction, June's helmet short circuits and shuts down. As a result, her radio and visor stopped working which causes Geff to run off and find Sarah. Shortly after, Miller approaches June and begins asking her questions but he claims to not understand her responses before storming off in annoyance. Geff then returns with Sarah, though Sarah is unable to repair it and decides to call HQ to order her a new one. During this phone call, June manages to find her way to the communications room as she dismisses calling HQ for anything before Nicole arrives. June watches as Nicole attempts to talk to HQ before it goes nowhere, with Sarah deciding that she and Nicole will look for parts around the outpost while tasking Geff to watch June. June dismisses this notion and Geff, however, by walking away to Geff's sadness.
After Miller calls a team meeting during Invader, Sarah gives June a new helmet she took off of the deactivated robot. After having her vision and voice restored, June chides Miller for calling the meeting instead of having the guards split up in the event of a potential intruder. When Miller has no response, June judges him as Sarah offers to make the call after Nicole refused and Geff declined. When the call reveals no intruder has arrived, Miller calls off the meeting. Later, while on patrol with Geff in Stashed, June dismisses his attempt to converse about Power Rangers and walks off upon Geff asking if he's mentioned his favorite movie to her.

  June during Infinity Like the other guards of Outpost Black Out, June had been stationed there for years prior to Talking, as shown in the flashback sequence of Truth. In Talking, June listens to her coworker Geff complain about their status as security guards as opposed to "real" soldiers. June dismissed these complaints, and made fun of Geff with her boss Miller as Geff tried calling HQ in Something. During The Point, Geff learns of the Spartan IV Program taking new candidates and convinces June to join him on the condition that Miller and Sarah also take part. As she prepared to depart in The Transfer, June criticized Sarah's attempt at bringing all of her luggage. When Emery, under the guise of an official UNSC pilot in Infinity, is about to depart with the guards, June's sister Nicole reveals herself and chides June for forgetting about her. After a quick stop at Outpost Rat's Nest, the guards were sent to Cold Storage. At the end of Clueless, June unveils herself to Miller and Geff as she reveals she transitioned from male to female. Miller was confused but didn't seem to mind, while Geff was supportive. Despite Geff's support, June would join Miller in insulting him. During an all-hands meeting in Paranoia, June and Sarah are sent by Miller to investigate a reading from his radar.

After Emery attacked Miller and revealed he was there for Geff, June was unfazed by it. Moments later in Dare, Emery is shot at by unknown attackers. Fearful for their own lives, June runs off to cover while Sarah and Nicole hide behind a crate in the opposite direction. Miller, waking up in a cold sweat, ends up catching up to her and the two decide to stick together as they discover the attackers' warthog. Stealing it, Miller drives the pair to a now-abandoned Outpost Ice Box for refuge as the pair figure out what their next course of action is, much to June's chagrin. |

Trivia
- Upon her debut, June's voice was simply Syp The Mighty's natural speaking voice, unlike her other roles such as Ignacio Dominguez. Since getting her Mark V helmet during Invader, the seventh episode of Season 1, June started to gain a "valley girl" accent before fully having one by the end of that season.
- June and Emery Eden are the only characters to have the same voice actors since their debut.
- June presents as male and is referred to as Josh from her debut until Bagels. In Clueless, the first episode of Classic Season 2, she's shown to have transitioned to a woman and adopted her new name during a prolonged absence between Infinity and that episode. This makes her the first transgender character in the series.
- Because of this, the flashback sequences at the start of Truth and Dare that occur before Classic Season 2 deliberately avoid referring to June by name and gender. Additionally, Sides episodes produced during Classic Season 2 that occur on Outpost Black Out such as Memo Chat completely ignore June's prior identity despite supposedly taking place prior to her transition.
- Season 1 ignores that she was male altogether by having her having already transitioned to a woman prior to the events of the season.
- In flashbacks shown within the Halo 2 engine, June is shown wearing the full Mark VI armor set like the rest of the guards, despite wearing a Mark V helmet in the Classic era Halo 3-set episodes. This is due to Halo 2 not featuring as much armor customization and thus June was unable to be filmed with her usual Mark V helmet. She would later don the standard Mark VI in Season 1 to explain this, with another Halo 2-set flashback being the cold open of its fifth episode. She regains her Mark V helmet in Invader, the seventh episode of Season 1, after her helmet malfunctioned in the prior episode with Sarah Daws and Nicole Vega having taken the helmet from Robot.
- June's last name, Vega, is revealed in Tagged on Geff's computer screen.
- In Pilot and Classic Season 1, June wears a CQB chest plate in addition to her Mark VI shoulder pads and Mark V helmet. However, from Annoyances onward she wears a Mark VI chest plate. While Syp can't remember the reason for the initial change, she retained the Mark VI chest plate in Classic Season 2 to be consistent with the other guards as the CQB had become associated with higher ranking soldiers by that point.
- She is the only member of Outpost Black Out to not appear in every episode of Season 1, as she was absent in Fax. Syp and Revoltge had simply forgotten to include her, though in earlier drafts of the script she did have a scene where she would encounter Pathfinder while her helmet was short-circuited before it was cut due to her helmet glitch being moved to later in the season during Dysfunction.
- She had a violet trim from Pilot to Replacement, switching to an orchid trim in Dysfunction.
- While considered the deuteragonist of Guard Duty during Classic Season 1, June's role was lessened in Classic Season 2 and Season 1 in favor of Sarah Daws' increased role.
- Her face was designed by JaxBeetle, a member of Spite Box who makes webcomics with Syp, for the promotional artwork celebrating the end of Season 1.
- According to June in Replacement, she and Nicole grew up in the outer colonies rather than Earth.
