She does eventually realise the futility of her endeavour, but only when it’s too late to do anything about it. On a side note, it also prevents her from realising that the Necromorph infection onboard the ship simply cannot be stopped, as the creatures’ ability to increase their ranks with every slain victim and usage of the vent systems to bypass any quarantine set up by the few not caught flat-footed by the outbreak meant that the ship was bound to fall sooner or later, and that her efforts would have been better put to use in evacuating survivors instead.

Heroic Willpower: She is among the last of the Ishimura's crew to be affected by the Marker signal, and it took her literally cuddling up next to it for it to make her hallucinate.

Heroic BSoD: Has one when her entire team is killed and she realizes that the crew of the Ishimura is beyond saving.
