Ngoc Benti

Ngoc Benti was a UNSC Navy corpsman on the Prowler in 2552.

Early Life
Benti was born on Earth in a cushy suburban household. This kept her fairly isolated from the war.

The Mona Lisa
In October 2552, she, along with Sergeant Lopez boarded the prison ship Mona Lisa and discovered it was a converted into lab used to experiment on the Flood parasite. She then split off from Lopez with half of the squad to enact the Cole Protocol on the ship's reactor, where she destroyed a Flood Proto-Gravemind. She then was force to kill one of her members after he was infected and soon found a prisoner named Rimmer and his companion, an Elite he had dubbed Henry. While regrouping with the rest of Lopez's squad, she was wounded by a Flood Combat Form and began showing symptoms of infection. Benti then sacrificed her life to save Lopez and the rest of the squad by pushing herself against Clarence and disappearing into the oncoming Flood horde. As the Flood infection killed her, she tried to hold onto a mental image of Sergeant Lopez waving goodbye.
