Lopez

Squad Captain Lopez was a Ranger in service to the Federal Bureau of Control.
==Biography==
Captain Lopez was a member of Penny Bartwell's book club, the Bureau Book Bunch, and read and reviewed the book Unless You by J. D. Brooks. She perceived the book as a young adult dystopian romance, and rated it 3 out of 5, praising the bold ending of killing the female protagonist and leaving the actual conflict unresolved, comparing it to a "good soldier's death" for how she "dies out in the unknown... but never loses sight of the goal."
She concluded that while "most of the teenage angst [was] a little lost" on her, she would recommend the book to her brother's children.Book Club: Lopez
On October 29, 2019, Lopez and her squad were tasked with a routine expedition into Quarry Site Beta via the Jukebox Object of Power, following at least one expedition to the Formation they had previously embarked on.Quarry Site Beta Log 1 After investigating a blinking light on one of the link detector arches, her team traveled to the Scrapyard, where they were ambushed by the Hiss. Despite fighting back, the team was slaughtered to the last. When she was the last remaining Ranger alive, Lopez recorded a report to warn others to stay away and was killed shortly after.Quarry Site Beta Log 2 In that sense, Lopez' death mirrored the death of the character she described in "Unless You"; dying out in the unknown but never losing sight of her goal to warn the Bureau of the danger, and never giving up to the very end. Her fellow book club members also suffered fates identical to what they described reading in the book.
Simon Arish later asks Jesse Faden to venture into Quarry Site Beta to ascertain the status of Lopez and her squad, and Jesse can later find her corpse as well as her recordings during the mission Put A Record On.Events of Put A Record On
