After the events in the Librarian's shrine, she and Fireteam Majestic were sent the deactivation codes of one of the [[Requiem slipspace artifacts]] in order to free ''Infinity'' from Requiem's orbit, while Fireteam Crimson deactivated the third. Suddenly 'Mdama's Covenant fleet flew overhead and left Requiem, entering slipspace just outside the exterior shell. The entire planet then began to move towards the system's sun and Palmer quickly ordered Majestic to move out.<ref name="Exodus">'''Spartan Ops''', ''[[Exodus (Spartan Ops)|Exodus]]''</ref>

Later, after Crimson retrieved a new power supply for the [[Harvester]], Miller informed Commander Palmer that they were back at the Harvester. She informed Miller that she and Majestic were almost at their objective as well. She asked Dalton about the evacuation of the planet and he informed her that everyone else was onboard and that Crimson and Majestic were the only ones left on the planet. After activating the Harvester and opening a path to the artifact, Miller reported to Commander Palmer that they had a path to the artifact. Palmer told him to just tell her when Crimson had finished and then yelled at DeMarco to check his six. She congratulated Crimson after they deactivated their artifact.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[Exodus (Spartan Ops)/One Last Time|S1E10 ''One Last Time'']]</ref>

Shortly after this, Captain Lasky asked how things were going she reported that Crimson had accomplished their mission, but Majestic was still working on theirs. She covered Thorne as he deactivated the device, once they cleared the area and deactivated the artifact they evacuated. Palmer and [[Tedra Grant]] piloted their Pelican back to ''Infinity'' and arrived at the ship at the same time as Crimson. After they had successfully escaped, Palmer and Lasky visited Dr. Glassman's lab, where the doctor was studying the incomplete Janus Key. On the way there, she reproached Lasky for ostensibly sending Majestic to stop her. Lasky responded that he sent Majestic rescue Halsey, but Palmer saw no difference.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', ''[[Exodus (Spartan Ops)|Exodus]] conclusion''</ref>

Upon traveling through the portal, Palmer, Ray and Thorne scouted the jungle when they spotted [[Unidentified Sangheili Minor|a Sangheili Minor]] who had defected from 'Nyon's forces. The Minor contacted Jul's Covenant and told him he wanted to rejoin 'Mdama. He then revealed he had the half of the Janus Key stolen by 'Nyon, and he would lead them to 'Nyon's hideout. 'Mdama's forces agreed to set up a rendezvous with the defector in order to secure the Janus Key half. Thorne and Ray intended to ambush the Minor and recover the Janus Key immediately. However, Palmer instead ordered them to hold off and wait until Halsey arrived. Both Spartans questioned her order, pointing out that they should take the Janus Key from the Sangheili before a greater force arrived. However, Palmer was determined to carry out the ambush.{{Ref/Reuse|HE15}}

Halsey eventually arrived, escorted by a large convoy of Jul 'Mdama's Covenant. Ray and Thorne fruitlessly attempted to talk Palmer out of her plan, but after most of the convoy departed and the Minor handed over the Janus Key half, the trio proceeded with the ambush. While Thorne and Ray created a distraction, Palmer drove a Ghost into a Wraith in the midst of 'Mdama's Covenant forces. Palmer began to eliminate the Zealots guarding Halsey and gave chase as one of them attempted to take the doctor into the jungle, leaving Ray and Thorne to fend off 'Mdama's Covenant on their own. She killed the Zealot and took Halsey captive, finding that she could not bring herself to kill the doctor despite her original plans. While she was leading Halsey through the jungle the doctor confronted Palmer about her unquestioning loyalty to [[Serin Osman|Admiral Osman]]. Palmer insisted that her loyalties lay with the UNSC and continued to express her utter contempt for Halsey. After Halsey revealed that ONI was using her as a scapegoat for projects that had their full support, Palmer became momentarily lost in thought over what she had been told. Using this to her advantage, Halsey ran off. Palmer gave chase but came up against a [[Type-58 Harvester|Harvester]]. 'Mdama's Covenant excavator attacked her with its [[plasma drill]], knocking her down a cliff. Palmer attempted to propel herself back up using her armor's thrusters, only to be knocked into a narrow crevice by a falling rock.<ref name="HE16">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 16|Issue #16]]''</ref>

Three days later, Palmer and the other Spartans having returned to ''Infinity'', ONI agents arrived on board to interrogate her. While [[Roland]] stalled the agents, Captain Lasky met with Palmer and asked her what had happened on the planet. Palmer told him of her failure to eliminate Halsey and secure the Janus Key, advising Lasky to prepare for the worst due to Jul 'Mdama's acquisition of both halves of the Janus Key.{{Ref/Reuse|HE16}}
