Despite their disagreement over her methods, the two shared a friendly relationship. When Bart realized that they were infected with an unknown pathogen, she took extreme measures to capture specimens for him. When she found an alien tablet in the ocean she gave it to Bart to study, showing that she trusts him. Throughout their time on the planet, their relationship is further explored, with Marguerit capturing specimens for Bart to study. However, while expressed relief at the prospect of leaving Paul, she couldn't bring herself to abandon Bart, claiming that he wasn't "so bad." Whether their friendship caused her to stay is unknown. An example of this is when Marguerit planned to leave the Torgals while they were sleeping, take what she needed and go off on her own. Marguerit and Bart seem to get along, and it is highly obvious that she prefers him over his father.

She has a base in a cave below the Lilypad Islands with the skull and mandibles of the Reaper that she killed. Marguerit remained on the body of the Reaper (more than likely staying inside the carcass for shelter and consuming it for nutrition), and over a long period of time eventually drifted to Sector Zero. Once the Reaper's body floated to the surface, due to the Ghost Leviathans consuming only planktonic organisms. Marguerit clung onto the Reaper whilst attacking it, eventually killing the Leviathan causing its body to float to the surface. It turns out Marguerit survived the events of 10 years prior came to reside within Sector Zero after the destruction of the Deep Grand Reef Degasi Base caused by a Reaper Leviathan. She was last seen by Paul, clutching onto the neck of the Reaper Leviathan.

After this Paul swam downwards towards a light, likely dying of oxygen deprivation whilst Bart fled towards the Floating Island and presumably died due to Kharaa some time later. Unknown to Marguerit, a second Reaper Leviathan had tailed her back to the base which it then attacked and destroyed. This arrangement continued up until Marguerit brought a near-dead Reaper Leviathan back to the base. Bart needed specimens to test on and Marguerit would bring him creatures for this purpose. A base was constructed within the Deep Grand Reef and here they learned that they had been infected by an alien disease. After this they moved to the Jellyshroom Caves where they remained for some months before Marguerit wished to venture even deeper into the ocean in search of the answer to why they were shot down. They remained on the island until the rainfall caused a landslide which destroyed part of their base. After the storms cleared they were able to see a Floating Island and created a base on it from the scrapped wreckage of the Degasi. They arrived during a period of torrential rainfall and storms which rendered them stuck within their lifepods for several days. Marguerit, Paul, and Paul's son Bart were the only survivors from the Degasi crash approximately one decade prior to the Aurora's crash.

3.2 Marguerit Maida's Log - Speaking Freely.3.1 Degasi Crew Manifest: Marguerit Maida.Marguerit's considerable experience was demonstrated on multiple occasions, once when she wrestled Stalkers and took their teeth by force and again when she brought a nearly dead Reaper Leviathan to their base in the Deep Grand Reef, and was last seen clinging to the Reaper Leviathan responsible for the destruction of that base, having stabbed a jagged piece of metal into its neck.Īs it turns out, Marguerit survived these events and later appears in person in Subnautica: Below Zero. Paul allowed this to happen because, despite being the captain, he knew that he and Bart needed her to survive. In the end Marguerit had her way and they set up habitats in the Jellyshroom Cave and later in the Deep Grand Reef. Marguerit wished to go deeper into the sea, but Paul wanted to remain on the Floating Island. Marguerit and Paul didn't get along well and argued often about where to establish themselves. Marguerit Maida was a highly experienced mercenary and former member of the Trans System Federation, hired by Paul Torgal to protect the Degasi from pirate raids.
