She was designated as Green-One, leading a team of Spartans into the suburbs around [[Côte d'Azur]]. In the suburbs her team found approximately 20 civilian survivors. She was able to successfully evacuate them before Blue Team detonated a [[HAVOK Nuclear Warhead]] in the heart of the city, destroying tens of thousands of [[Covenant]] forces stationed there. Linda and her team then dusted off in a [[Pelican]] which docked with the ''[[Leviathan|UNSC Leviathan]]'' and returned to Reach for debriefing. | ||

She was designated as Blue-Two, part of John's team to [[Reach Station Gamma]] to destroy the unsecured NAV databse of the [[ONI]] Prowler [[Circumference]]. During that mission, [[Spartan-James|James]] was killed and she and John were forced to enter the station which was filled with [[Elite]] and [[Jackal]] [[Ranger]]s.

One of the globules of plasma hit her in the back of the skull, and with that, Linda was dead.<ref>[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]], pages 325-329</ref> | Linda was then aboard the ''[[Pillar of Autumn|UNSC Pillar of Autumn]]'' for a short time until [[The Battle of Reach]] began.
