She moves east, with three [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marines]], and encounters four [[Unggoy Minor]]s. After killing the Grunts, she moves forward and encounters several more Unggoy. As an [[AV-14 Hornet]] flies nearby, a mega turret destroys debris near the Spartan. After killing all Unggoy in the area, Palmer finds an empty [[Type-26 Wraith]]. Using the Wraith, she continues on her way and destroys several [[Sangheili Minor]]s nearby. The mega turret continues to fire at Palmer throughout her journey. As Palmer continues east, several Hornets fly over a UNSC facility at the bottom of the [[Epsilon Expanse]]. At the end of the first bridge, Palmer and the Marines are attacked by Sangheili and an Unggoy Minor manning a [[Type-29 Shade]]. A second unmanned Wraith is nearby. After Palmer passes the bridge, a Sangheili-manned Wraith attacks Palmer, but she manages to destroy it. | ||
