The Pfhor disassembled her and intended to take her back to their homeworld, but circumstances caused her to fall into the hands of another alien race called the [[Vylae]]. The Vylae unwittingly brought Leela back online, and the subsequent crash of their FTL network was historic. Afterwards, the Vylae accepted they could never fully expunge her from their network.<ref name="M2Endscreen">[https://marathon.bungie.org/story/M2_Final_Screen.html| | The Pfhor disassembled her and intended to take her back to their homeworld, but circumstances caused her to fall into the hands of another alien race called the [[Vylae]].

The details of Leela's creation are unknown. However, she was created with the intention of serving as the Marathon's ship operations, and was active throughout the Marathon's voyage. During that time, Tycho and Durandal had a falling out and the two would not talk to each other for six years. Leela was the only one Tycho could talk to.<ref>[https://marathon.bungie.org/story/volunteers.html#M2.06.1.1| | The details of Leela's creation are unknown.

By way of Durandal's conspiring, the Tau Ceti colony was discovered by the Pfhor Empire. A lone scout ship, the [[Boomer|Sfiera]], subsequently dropped out of FTL above the colony and began its attack on July 25, 2794. | By way of Durandal's conspiring, the Tau Ceti colony was discovered by the Pfhor Empire.

Though Leela remarked that the Pfhor organization was uncoordinated, the [[S'pht]] compilers' attack on the Marathon's Computer Net was far more effective.<ref>[https://marathon.bungie.org/story/arrival.html#M1.00.4.1| Marathon, Arrival Terminal 4]</ref> | ||
Leela made contact with the [[Security Officer]] after his run in with Durandal aboard the [[Mirata]], and informed him of the ship's status. The two of them began operations against the Pfhor in earnest, bringing the Marathon's defenses back online protecting crewmembers from the aliens,<ref name="BigGun"></ref> and sending a distress message to Earth. However, Leela claims the message will take 92 years to reach its destination.<ref name="pity">[https://marathon.bungie.org/story/counterattack.html#M1.08.2.2| | Leela made contact with the [[Security Officer]] after his run in with Durandal aboard the [[Mirata]], and informed him of the ship's status.

However, despite her best efforts, Leela began losing control of the situation and her own systems. Durandal harassed the Security Officer's teleport requests and kidnapped him to do his own bidding. Meanwhile, Leela was unable to keep up with the S'pht attacks and placed herself in stasis to keep from failing. | However, despite her best efforts, Leela began losing control of the situation and her own systems.

Leela's views on [[Durandal]] are unclear.
