Burgundy

Burgundy, nicknamed Stickybeak, was a D77-TC Pelican dropship pilot onboard the prowler.

Mission to Halo
She accompanied Sergeant Zhao Heng Lopez, Corpsman Ngoc Benti, and others on a classified mission to the location of Installation 04's debris field, when the Red Horse's AI, Rebecca, picked up a signal coming from a unidentified escape pod. When the Red Horse picked up the escape pod and Lopez opened it, showing an unidentified man surrounded by blood, Burgundy ran off into the ship. When Burgundy and the others received an order by commanding officer Commander Tobias Foucault, to board the Mona Lisa. When they boarded the Mona Lisa, Burgundy stayed behind in case of the need of immediate evac.

Later, Lopez ordered Marines Cranker, Maller, Simons, and Sydney to stay with the Pelican with Burgundy locked up inside the aircraft. When the the Flood appeared, they launched a fierce attack against the Marines outside of the dropship, which killed all of the Marines, save for Burgundy. She had examined the firefight with the limited view of the visual sensors of the Pelican, but she didn't see the attackers, nor her protection detail's death and subsequent infection.

Death
When the gangplate lowered to show the dimly lit infected forms of Cranker and Maller, she did not know that they were infected. She had learned the horrible truth too late, and she was severely wounded, but not infected and was harshly brought to the engine room. Later, Benti, Clarence, Henry, and Rimmer saw Burgundy being dragged toward the mass of Flood organisms to be enveloped, when Benti tossed two primed fragmentation grenades at the mass and destroyed the Flood growth, the engines and Burgundy.
