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 was forced to single-handedly defend an escaping [[Kovalic|Admiral Kovalic]], who was carrying an important [[Artificial intelligence|AI]]. She fought an attacking [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]] and eventually killed the alien by running him over with the admiral's [[M12 Warthog]]. During the escape, she was hit by a [[Type-33 Needler]] shard, but survived due to her [[ODST armor|armor]].<ref name="Initiation1">'''[[Halo: Initiation]]''', ''[[Halo: Initiation Issue 1|Issue #1]]''</ref>

When orders from [[Serin Osman|Admiral Serin Osman]] came down to kill Dr. Halsey, Palmer decided to carry it out personally. Lasky attempted to stop her, voicing his protests against ONI using the conventional military to carry out their assassinations, particularly when the target was a civilian.

On March 11, six days after DeMarco's death, ''Infinity'' arrived in the [[Artesia-702 system]] having received a distress signal from the damaged [[freighter]] ''[[Pilgrims Pride]]''. When the freighter was tugged inside ''Infinity'', an ambush was sprung as the freighter set itself to self-destruct and multiple UNSC assault crafts exited its cargo bay. With the help of SPARTAN-IVs the attack was repelled. Following the attack, ''Infinity'' learned that the assault crafts from the freighter belonged to the long-lost {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 4|Issue #4]]''</ref> Roland discovered that the freighter was launched near [[Oth Lodon]], a gas giant located deep in Jiralhanae space.

Equipped with [[OF92 Booster Frame]]s, Palmer and Fireteam Majestic scouted the planet's system. As they entered an asteroid field, Palmer, not wanting to listen to [[Jared Miller|Miller]]'s in-mission chatter, shut down communications with ''Infinity'' under the guise of losing the signal in the asteroids. Exploring the asteroid field, the Spartans came across not the ''Spirit of Fire'' but instead a [[Oth Lodon station|Covenant station]] under control by [[New Colonial Alliance]] insurgents. Palmer restored communications to inform ''Infinity'' about the discovery.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 5|Issue #5]]''</ref>

Palmer possesses a strong sense of duty, and displays great tenacity and boldness on the battlefield. Possessing an audacious, gung-ho attitude, she is regarded as an experienced and capable leader, and is generally cool in tense situations. At the same time, she does have a tendency to react badly when things go wrong. For instance, when [[Catherine Halsey|Doctor Catherine Halsey]] was abducted off the bridge of the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, a frustrated Palmer slammed her fist into the holo-table so hard, she dented the metal.<ref name="expendable"/>
