Biography

The Second Aegis 7 Incident

Elizabeth Cross was one of the few survivors aboard the USG Ishimura during the USG Kellion's arrival. Elizabeth spends a great deal of time looking for her boyfriend, 2nd Engineer Jacob Temple. Unlike Jacob, during her travels throughout the ship, she was usually alone. While Isaac Clarke makes no direct contact with Elizabeth Cross, many of her audio logs can be found about the ship, one of which questions why they cannot send their surplus of food to the colony of Aegis VII despite the Captain's "No-Fly" order. During the dementia, chaos spread within the Ishimura, Cross abandoned her position and went looking for Temple.

Fate

Eventually, Cross reunited with Temple in the Mining Deck, and the two attempted to escape together; they first attempt to send out a distress beacon. However, at some point during their initial escape, the two lovers were captured by Challus Mercer. The deranged doctor tied up Cross and Temple, then taped both of their mouths shut. Elizabeth was eventually murdered by Mercer when he stuck a metal spike into her forehead, killing her instantly. Shortly after the death of Elizabeth, Isaac Clarke makes his way to the scene, and watched helplessly as Jacob was murdered as well.

Trivia

• It's unknown how Mercer managed to capture Cross and her lover, but when Mercer is about to kill Temple, he says that "Dr. Cross was a true believer. She had faith. And now she awaits her transformation". This let implied that Elizabeth eventually succumbed the dementia and gave herself and Temple to the crazed doctor. This is also hinted by the fact that she is found lying dead on the floor fetterless, unlike Jaboc who have been gagged and corded on a chair.
