'''Technical Petty Officer, First Class Mary Murphy''' was a [[UNSC]] technician and crew member of the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} in [[2552]]. She was present when that vessel crashed on [[Installation 04]] and at the subsequent [[Battle of Installation 04]].

==Biography==
During the [[Battle of Installation 04]], she worked with [[Petty Officer Third Class]] [[Cho (Navy technician)|Cho]] and Petty Officer Third Class [[Pauley]] at [[Alpha Base (Installation 04)|Alpha Base]]. Murphy led the Naval Team. All three survived the attacks and subsequent failed landing on the ''Pillar of Autumn''. She monitored air traffic and told [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] [[Wellsley]] when there was a problem. She let [[D77-TC|Pelicans]] and other airships land if they needed to resupply or drop off troops, or just stop flying for the day.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page 208''</ref> She was killed when [[Prisoner of War|POW]] [[Lieutenant (UNSC)|Lieutenant]] [[Rick Hale]] landed his Pelican, [[Charlie 217]], in the base, dropping off thirty SpecOps [[Elite]]s who were led by Commando [[Zuka 'Zamamee]]. Once the base commanders knew what was happening, the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] banded together and killed most of the Elites. 'Zamamee and a few other survivors fled underground, killing many of the technicians, including Murphy; Cho and Pauley.

Murphy took the initiative to take the safeties off of the base's 50mm defensive turrets to stop the [[DX-class Spirit Dropship|Covenant dropships]] that were soon going to arrive with Covenant reinforcements. Luckily for the base, she did this before she was killed.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page 214''</ref> The last thing Murphy heard before dying was 'Zamamee's laugh.

Mary's work helped Wellsley stop part of the [[Covenant]] infiltration force, destroying one of the dropships and killing dozens of enemy passengers.
