Salter and Nick Reyes have an unbreakable bond[2] after flying together for a decade.[3] However, Reyes's promotion to captain puts a strain on their relationship, as she's now subordinate to him in the chain of command. She isn't afraid of speaking her mind, nor in challenging her superiors.[4]
She's also the best pilot in the SATO fleet.[5]
Out of the 767 crew members aboard the Retribution, she along with Brooks, Boats and Kloos are the only Retribution crew members left alive by the end of the game. In the ending cutscene, she is seen mourning the death of Nick Reyes and saluting Nick's name along with the many others that died during the war. Her final words to them were "Peace to the Fallen".
