On [[2552#October|October 25, 2552]], | On [[2552#October|October 25, 2552]],{{Ref/Reuse|Catalog}} Benti was assigned to [[Sergeant]] [[Zhao Heng Lopez|Lopez]]'s Marine detachment when they boarded the [[prison ship]] ''[[Mona Lisa]]'', unbeknownst to the fact it had been a converted into a laboratory the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] used to experiment on the [[The Flood|Flood]] parasite. | ||
As the Marines [[ | As the Marines [[Naval boarding|boarded]] the drifting ''Mona Lisa'', they were attacked by a group of unarmed and unarmored [[Sangheili]], which they dispatched with ease. The Marines soon received new orders to enact the [[United Nations Space Command Emergency Priority Order 098831A-1|Cole Protocol]], and split up into two parties. Sergeant Lopez assigned Benti to lead the group sent to purge the ship's secondary NAV database in the engine room, with her team consisting of [[Clarence]], [[Gersten]], [[Orlav]] and [[Tsardikos]].<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''"The Mona Lisa"'', ''page 261''</ref> | ||
On their way to the engineering, they were engaged by the Flood in the ship's recycling plant, losing Tsardikos, Orlav and Gersten. After escaping the Flood into a maintenance room, they encountered a neurotic prisoner called [[Patrick Rimmer]], accompanied by his companion, a Sangheili he had dubbed "[[Henry]]".<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''"The Mona Lisa"'', ''page 288-291''</ref> As they made their way toward the engine room, Rimmer explained them what the Flood were and what had happened on the ship.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''"The Mona Lisa"'', ''page 307-309''</ref> | On their way to the engineering, they were engaged by the Flood in the ship's recycling plant, losing Tsardikos, Orlav and Gersten.

On the way to the escape pods, Benti was wounded by a [[Flood combat form]] she recognized as [[Sydney (Marine)|Sydney]], and soon began showing symptoms of infection.

During the ensuing standoff, Benti sacrificed her life to save Lopez and "Henry" by pushing herself against Clarence, pinning him down, as they were overtaken by the oncoming Flood horde. As the Flood infection killed her, she tried to hold onto the image of Sergeant Lopez waving goodbye.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''"The Mona Lisa"'', ''page 337-340''</ref> | ||
