* BodyHorror: She was turned into a living puppet slash walkie talkie in order to be possessed by various LMG members to communicate with the team at the outpost. And the way they control her? [[spoiler: She has their fingers on her hand. The only way to permanently prevent them from using her is to ''cut the finger off''.]]
