Sami Lehto joined the response team in year 45 as Mara Okafor's new recruit. On his first forest patrol a toxic boar took him off his feet, and he carried its bite home with the poison in his blood (T-050). In the yard of the nuclear plant he shot a crawler off Erik Halden's back (T-052). In the reactor building he and Brandt stood in a puddle of sludge to fire, and it came through their boots (T-053).

In year 47 he went through the rift with Halden's team. In a camp of the lost expedition he held a mask up to see how it was made, and it was on (T-054). It could not be taken off, and it came off by itself a day and a half later (T-054). While he wore it, polluted air did not poison him: Tomas Rehn tested him in the Institute's yard and in a sealed room filled with air from the launch site's hangar (T-054). Lehto told Rehn what else he had seen in the camp: bedrolls, a stove and Sund's page under a stone. "And tracks going further in, and none coming back." (T-054).

He went down with Halden when the widening failed. Halden's message of the second day reads: "Lehto and Brandt are down." (T-055).
