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]].

One of the [[Sangheili|Elite]] riders attempted to board the Warthog, stripping Sullivan of his MA5.

==Production note==
Corporal Palmer's character in ''[[Palace Hotel (short story)|Palace Hotel]]'' is based on the red-haired female Marine voiced by [[Laura Prepon]] who appears in the ''[[Halo 2]]'' level ''[[Metropolis]]'', which the short story is a loose adaptation of. While the location where the player encounters her is echoed rather closely in ''Palace Hotel'', her dialog and actions differ significantly; in the game, her only scripted action is her offering her [[M90 Close Assault Weapon System|shotgun]] to the Master Chief, which does not occur in the short story.
