On [[2552#October|October 20, 2552]], Palmer and her squad were stationed in the [[Mtangwe Underpass]], unloading equipment from [[M831 Troop Transport]]s, when [[John-117]] arrived. Moments afterward, a [[Type-26 Assault Gun Carriage|Wraith]] emerged, forcing the Marines to fall back into a sewer tunnel.<ref name="evo"/> 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 [[Type-42 Directed Energy Support Weapon|gun emplacements]] to commandeer two [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthogs]]. At first Palmer protested but approved of the plan nonetheless. | |||
After sprinting across the plaza, Palmer and another Marine, [[Private First Class|PFC]] [[Sullivan]], joined the Spartan commandeering an [[M12G1 Light Anti-Armor Vehicle|M12G1 LAAV]], with Palmer manning the [[M68 Asynchronous Linear-Induction Motor|turret]] and Sullivan taking the passenger seat.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "Palace Hotel", ''page 361''</ref> The other Marines followed close behind in an [[M831 Troop Transport]]. On their way to the command post, they encountered several [[Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle|Ghosts]] at the park and the [[Mwatate Street Transit Center]]. One of the [[Sangheili|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.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "Palace Hotel", ''page 362-365''</ref> They eventually made it to the command post via [[Shimanzi Road]].<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "Palace Hotel", ''page 367''</ref> | |||
