'''Lieutenant Commander Gail Purdy''' was a member of the [[UNSC Navy]] and an engineer in [[2552]]. She was assigned to the ''[[Pillar of Autumn]]'' as Chief Engineer. She was not in the same Chain of Command as the [[ODST]] officers, but she clearly outranked [[First Lieutenant Melissa McKay]]. She was middle aged and stout, with ginger-colored hair and stern and serious eyes.

She was aboard the ''Autumn'' when it arrived at [[Installation 04]]. Presumably, she took a [[Bumblebee]] life pod to the surface when the vessel crashed. At [[Alpha Base]], she managed to survive until the very end of the event. She was one of the few specialists that was assigned guards during the ODST attack on the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]''. She pointed out a conduit to McKay that she knew was vital to the function of the ship. McKay ends up destroying that very piece of technology to stop the [[Flood]] from getting to [[Earth]].
