In the follow-up mission "The Impossibility of Reason", after the destruction of the Buran, Lorca, Landry, Patel, and the player character are stranded on an icy moon of Priors World, where Patel sacrifices herself to allow the others to escape. Patel's sacrifice ultimately inspires Landry to take the post of security chief when she joins Lorca aboard the Discovery''.
