Steffi Ehrlich (2021-2059) was a German member of the group on Bowie Base One from July 2058 to November 2059. She was the senior technician of the crew.

In 2059, while escaping from Bowie Base One, she was infected by the Flood when contaminated water touched her body.


Early life and career

Ehrlich was born on September 3rd 2021 in Iserlohn, Germany. After attending secondary school in Iserlohn, Ehrlich spent two years in the Bundeswehr. She then went on to study physics at RWTH Aachen University, taking a doctorate in solid state physics (2046). After that, she worked at Argonne National Laboratory (in Chicago) and the University of California. In 2048, she was selected to join the German astronaut team in the European Space Agency. She completed basic training at the German Aerospace Centre between 2048 and 2050.

She was part of the crew for the tenth German moon mission in the spacecraft AWARQ. In 2051, she was married and had two children Ulrika and Lisette. Shortly after her second child was born, she was selected for the Mars mission. She initially refused to leave her family but changed her mind after an unspecified event that devastated many parts of Germany.

On Mars

During the Flood invasion on 21 November 2059, she witnessed three of the crew become zombie-like water monsters. She was separated from the rest of the crew by falling water and trapped, with the Flood attempting to break into the room. She hid in Section 9 of the main hub and was unable to get out. Captain Adelaide Brooke said to her that she will let her out through the back of the section.

Knowing she soon would be infected, Steffi watched a video of her two children just moments before the water came into the section. Steffi cried as the water gushed into the section, and Mia and Adelaide watched in horror as she was infected and began jittering. Adelaide escaped with Mia Bennett after the infected Steffi came out of the section. Following her transformation, Steffi and the other infected personnel went to the glacier and screamed so they could crack the ice. Steffi and the other infected personnel were killed when Adelaide blew up the entire base.
