Lopis got along well with her fellow agents in the GMoP. She was heartbroken at the loss of her entire team, and vowed to avenge their deaths. She was troubled, however, at the circumstances behind their loss, as most of her team had been killed not by the UNSC (who she initially believed were the aggressor party) but by her own people on Gao; indeed, Lopis' discovery of Arlo Casille's underhanded activities to assume Gao's presidency put her loyalties to the test, ultimately resulting in her defection to the UNSC. | Lopis got along well with her fellow agents in the GMoP.

Like most Gao natives, Veta Lopis had been brought up to despise and distrust the [[United Nations Space Command]] and particularly the [[Spartan]]s from an early age.<ref>'''Halo: Last Light''', Chapter 1</ref> Over the course of [[Operation: JOVIAN WHISTLE]], she worked closely with the Spartans and despite her initial contempt for them, she grew to trust and respect the supersoldiers, being particularly endeared to the trio of [[Gamma Company]] Spartan-IIIs. When the nature of the Spartan-IIIs was revealed to her, she was appalled that a government could utilize children in such a manner and even proclaimed that she intended to take the teenage Spartans into protective custody. The Gammas quickly nicknamed Lopis "Mom" due to her perceived overprotective tendencies; although this often annoyed her, she did grow to become a maternal figure of sorts to the trio and believed she could treat them more humanely than ONI. Despite their initial friction, she also formed an unexpected rapport with Fred-104 and was genuinely upset when she thought him to have been killed. After Lopis reappears two years after being considered [[missing in action]] and presumed dead along with her team, it's stated that she and Fred had grown "kind of close" during their missions together and Fred had taken her disappearance and presumed death hard, suggesting that a deeper personal relationship had developed between the two. Part of Lopis' message is indicated to be personal in nature and addressed to Fred as Captain [[Veronica Dare]] cuts off the top third of the message, gives it to Fred and states that it's nothing that ONI needs to know about.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=Epilogue}} | Like most Gao natives, Veta Lopis had been brought up to despise and distrust the [[United Nations Space Command]] and particularly the [[Spartan]]s from an early age.<ref>'''Halo: Last Light''', Chapter 1</ref> Over the course of [[Operation: JOVIAN WHISTLE]], she worked closely with the Spartans and despite her initial contempt for them, she grew to trust and respect the supersoldiers, being particularly endeared to the trio of [[Gamma Company]] Spartan-IIIs.
