When the Flood escaped containment, Rimmer was nearly killed by an [[Flood combat form|infected prison guard]] but was rescued when a Sangheili prisoner killed the guard with a cricket bat. The Sangheili did not kill Rimmer but instead freed him from his cell. Rimmer named the alien Henry, and they soon became close friends and comrades despite the fact that they could not understand each others' language. The duo evaded the Flood by locking themselves in a maintenance room. | When the Flood escaped containment, Rimmer was nearly killed by an [[Flood combat form|infected prison guard]] but was rescued when a Sangheili prisoner killed the guard with a cricket bat.

Rimmer was found by [[Hospital Corpsman]] [[Ngoc Benti]], [[Clarence]], and [[Gersten]], the remnants of a small group that went on a [[Skirmish on Mona Lisa|reconnaissance mission]] and was split off from [[Sergeant]] [[Zhao Heng Lopez]]'s main squad. Rimmer told them about the Flood, his experiences on the ''Mona Lisa'', and had to convince them to trust Henry. However, he also told them that Gersten was infected and had to be killed, which Clarence did immediately. | Rimmer was found by [[Hospital Corpsman]] [[Ngoc Benti]], [[Clarence]], and [[Gersten]], the remnants of a small group that went on a [[Skirmish on Mona Lisa|reconnaissance mission]] and was split off from [[Sergeant]] [[Zhao Heng Lopez]]'s main squad.

The group, despite Rimmer's warnings, went to the engine room in order to [[United Nations Space Command Emergency Priority Order 098831A-1|purge the ship's secondary NAV database]]. There, they killed the pilots (including [[Burgundy]], the pilot who brought the Marines to the ''Mona Lisa'') that the Flood had absorbed into a [[proto-Gravemind]], thus stopping the Flood from learning how to fly the ship.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''"The Mona Lisa"'', ''page 328-330''</ref> However, Benti was wounded by an infected Marine named [[Sydney (Marine)|Sydney]] soon after. Rimmer was given an [[MA5B Individual Combat Weapon System|assault rifle]] to fight the Flood, but was such a poor shot that Benti took his gun and gave it to Henry. | The group, despite Rimmer's warnings, went to the engine room in order to [[United Nations Space Command Emergency Priority Order 098831A-1|purge the ship's secondary NAV database]].

Rimmer, Henry, Benti, and Clarence then fled to the escape pods in order to regroup with the rest of the survivors. Just as they were about to board one, however, Clarence, revealed to be an [[Office of Naval Intelligence#Section Three|ONI Section 3]] operative who was under orders not to let anybody but the Marines escape, shot Rimmer in the head, ending his life.<ref name="tml337">'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''"The Mona Lisa"'', ''page 337''</ref> | Rimmer, Henry, Benti, and Clarence then fled to the escape pods in order to regroup with the rest of the survivors.

Patrick Rimmer was jumpy and quick to panic. However, he balanced this out by talking often, a habit that annoyed many people. He had a habit of affectionately patting Henry, something which made the Sangheili visibly uncomfortable. | Patrick Rimmer was jumpy and quick to panic.
