Burt Lindley was a man in Belmont in the years after the Third Robotech War
Burt was worried about getting a job as Wendy comforted him as no one starved in Belmont, only to burn the food she was cooking. Burt went out thinking how old man Mortimer at the Souks was hiring a Dresser and he might save up enough if he started now, but saw a Zentraedi going through his garbage. When he confronted him over it, the youth threw trash at him and said he was Feld Sossana and threw more refuse at him before leaving. At Morty and Akbar, Mr. Mortimer told Burt he gave the job to his son in law who returned from service and Mortimer and his cousin Mohammed told how the winter made things rough for jobs until spring. Mortimer's son in law Vivek Allinin came in and upon seeing he was Zentraedi, Burt was enraged as he gave the job and his daughter to a "Trod" when many real people went without and ran off after telling off the son in law for his kind taking over. Burt was bummed over having no work for 6 months and being no good and Sergeant Bill Cortez of the Belmont Corps arrived and revealed he was sent by Mr. Mortimer. He offered Burt help but being from Texas, Burt didn't want welfare, but Cortez revealed he too was from Texas and it was hard work in the Corps. Burt went on the Belmont Corps Bus and the only seat was next to Feld which caused a clash but Cortez settled it by telling them he was in charge and were going to the Labor Unit by the Water Works. At the labor yard they saw that no one starved in Belmont as they all had work doing maintenance on roads and systems or chores for neighbors. Before the group went to the Mess Hall, Feld ran off after having enough of it despite protests of Burt. When discovering Feld had gone missing, Cortez went to Rand for help but a Contamination alarm went off and there was a search for him. By nightfall, Burt was searching the Spill Trench Facility and fell in the water, only to be saved by Feld who revealed he had been sleeping there and thought about how he began the tiff between them with his actions. The search party found them and the leak near them. Later at Burt's place he invited Feld who he gave a Texas Dinner (Robotech: Aftermath: Robotech: Aftermath 11: The Belmont Saga)
