In [[2546]], [[Lance Corporal]] Palmer was attached to ODST squadron [[Gamma-Six]], under the command of Sergeant [[Pham]] during the [[Covenant]]'s [[Battle of Sargasso|attack]] on [[Sargasso]]. During the battle, the squad was sent to the town of [[Belisk]] to protect [[Lethbridge Industrial]]'s latest military-grade munitions manufactured for the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]. While Gamma-Six protected the facility, ONI tasked [[Alpha-Nine]] with retrieval of the facility's research data before the Covenant could claim it.<ref>'''[[Halo: New Blood]]''', ''page 25''</ref> However, Palmer and Gamma-Six were unaware of the fact that ONI had intended for the squad to serve as a distraction, allowing Alpha-Nine to recover the data with little resistance. As Alpha-Nine completed their mission and prepared to leave Belisk, [[Edward Buck]], squad leader for Alpha-Nine, overheard Palmer - who had assumed command of Gamma-Six upon Sgt. Pham's death - questioning the lack of extraction. Command informed Gamma-Six that the amount of hostiles at their position made extraction impossible and ordered their retreat to a safer location. As two [[Type-26 Banshee]]s assaulted Palmer's position, Buck ignored his orders and led Alpha-Nine to rescue Gamma-Six. By the time Alpha-Nine arrived, Palmer was the only surviving member of her squad. Together, the ODSTs eliminated the remaining Covenant forces assaulting their position and returned to [[Unidentified UNSC military base|base]] in a civilian truck.<ref>'''Halo: New Blood''', ''pages 38-44''</ref> | In [[2546]], [[Lance Corporal]] Palmer was attached to ODST squadron [[Gamma-Six]], under the command of Sergeant [[Pham]] during the [[Covenant]]'s [[Battle of Sargasso|attack]] on [[Sargasso]].

In [[2552#October|October 2552]], Lance Corporal Palmer was part of an ODST unit deployed to reinforce a UNSC outpost under attack by the Covenant. Immediately upon touchdown, Palmer single-handedly defended [[Kovalic|Admiral Kovalic]], who was escaping the outpost with the base's [[Artificial intelligence|AI]]. Upon emerging from her [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|SOEIV]], LCpl Palmer fought off several Covenant forces, including several [[Unggoy]] and no less than two [[Jiralhanae]], one of which was a [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftain]]. During the brief firefight, she was hit by a [[Type-33 Needler]] shard, surviving thanks only to her [[ODST armor|armor]]. Showing ingenuity and bravery in the face of insurmountable odds - including flipping a [[M12 Warthog|Warthog]] with a [[M9 fragmentation grenade|grenade]] and eliminating a Chieftain - LCpl Palmer successfully rescued the Admiral and was subsequently promoted to the rank of Corporal with intentions of a rapid promotion to Sergeant.<ref name="Initiation1">'''[[Halo: Initiation]]''', ''[[Halo: Initiation Issue 1|Issue #1]]''</ref> | In [[2552#October|October 2552]], Lance Corporal Palmer was part of an ODST unit deployed to reinforce a UNSC outpost under attack by the Covenant.
