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]].
