Biography
Battle of Mombasa
On October 20, 2552, Palmer and her squad were stationed in the Mtangwe Underpass, unloading equipment from M831 Troop Transports, when John-117 arrived. Moments afterward, a Wraith emerged, forcing the Marines to fall back into a sewer tunnel.[3] After evading the Covenant attack, the Marines emerged near the Kilindini Park Cultural Center. With the intent of reaching the Marines' command post in Palace Hotel at Beria Plaza, the Spartan suggested that they make a run for it over an open plaza with Covenant gun emplacements to commandeer two Warthogs. At first Palmer protested but approved of the plan nonetheless.
After sprinting across the plaza, Palmer and another Marine, PFC Sullivan, joined the Spartan commandeering an M12G1 LAAV, with Palmer manning the turret and Sullivan taking the passenger seat.[4] The other Marines followed close behind in an M831 Troop Transport. On their way to the command post, they encountered several Ghosts at the park and the Mwatate Street Transit Center. One of the Elite riders attempted to board the Warthog, stripping Sullivan of his MA5. Palmer fired the gauss cannon just above Sullivan's head, obliterating the Elite's upper body and temporarily deafening Sullivan.[5] They eventually made it to the command post via Shimanzi Road.[6]
