She had many people back home in the [[Southwest Trinity worlds]] who eagerly followed her exploits, and was particularly popular with people on [[Cerillos]], where she was especially revered. This also meant that Teresa was one of those who served as a part of the Caballeros Council of Elders, the ruling body that dealt with matters that affected the entire regiment (and which was distinct from the Command Council, which dealt with purely military matters).<ref name="CQp137"/>

On the 2nd of November [[3056]], the Seventeenth Recon were battling the [[9th Ghost|Ninth Ghost]] [[regiment]] in Masamori as a result of orders from the [[Internal Security Force]], who believed that Chandrasekhar Kurita was betraying the [[Draconis Combine]] to the [[Clans]]. Teresa was killed in action during the battles around the main HTE compound, when she led a charge inside the compound directly into a salient that the Ninth Ghost had managed to drive into the Caballeros' line. Her death was witnessed by a number of personnel from the Caballeros, and no less than five of her fellow MechWarriors swore after the battle that as flames were spiraling upwards from her ''Crusader'', they witness angels swooping down to protect Teresa with their wings, and bear her up to heaven.<ref name="CQp191">''Close Quarters'', ch. 38, p. 191</ref>
