Elyse Booth

**Elyse Booth** was an NPC in Borderlands 2. **Elyse Booth** was a Dahl security officer in charge of protecting the Dahl

miners of Sanctuary during the Dahl crystal mining operations in the Caustic Caverns.

## Biography

**Booth** is introduced in the mission Perfectly Peaceful given by Sir Hammerlock. Her story is told via 4 ECHO

recordings in which the Vault Hunters are required to find.

**Booth** initially reports to **Harchek**, the overseer of the Dahl crystal mining operations, about how a miner came across a strange crystal formation which began to move. The crystal formation is revealed to be a crystalisk. **Booth** quickly discovers the crystalisks are docile as they have never seen humans before. Due to this, the humans form friendly relationships with the inquisitive creatures, **Booth** herself befriending a large blue crystalisk which the miners and security personnel dub as Blue. Booth suggests that the mining operations be moved away from the creatures as to not disturb them. **Harchek** however, insisted that Booth and her security team mine the crystalisks to harvest their crystals.

**Booth** is shocked at this notion and tries to reason with **Harchek**. **Booth** states that without the crystals, the crystalisks will die. **Booth** gives forth the suggestion that Sanctuary find a different location to mine crystals so that the crystalisks may live in peace. **Harchek** was adamant and demanded Booth and her team to hunt the crystalisks down.

**Booth** became enraged and defied **Harchek's** orders. She personally confronted and threatened **Harchek** to move Sanctuary somewhere else. Sadly, as **Booth** was threatening her, **Harchek** had **Booth** fatally shot and murdered. **Harchek** used **Booth's** death as an example to the remainder of her security team. Reluctantly, the security team complied with **Harchek's** orders and proceeded to hunt the crystalisks.

The crystalisks however, began to fight back against the humans. During the final days of the Dahl crystal mining operations in the Caustic Caverns, most of the security team and miners were brutally killed by the crystalisks in retaliation. Justice was served when **Harchek** was killed by Blue, the giant crystalisk that had befriended **Booth**.

## Personality

**Elyse Booth** was a headstrong woman who had a compassionate side towards living creatures. This is shown when she desperately tries to reason with **Harchek** to spare the crystalisks.

*"This is Security* **Officer Booth***. Signing off.."*

## Trivia

* **Booth** shared a close bond with the giant crystalisk, Blue, akin to how a human is with a pet as evidenced in the first ECHO recording found by the player(s). **Booth** can be heard laughing and passing her hat to Blue to play with.
* **Booth's** grave can be found near the top center of the map, close to the minecart rails in a field. The third ECHO in the mission Perfectly Peaceful in which she can be heard being shot is held to her gravestone with a pickaxe.
* The quote*"This is Security **Officer Booth**. Signing off.."*is very reminiscent of the last line spoken by Ellen Ripley from the movie Alien at the end of her audio log about the disaster onboard the Nostromo.
