Sarah Palmer: Difference between revisions

Some time later, Palmer returned to X50 after discovering a Forerunner signal from inside the "moon". Tracking the source of the signal, Palmer fought through the remaining members of Merg Vol's Covenant. After arriving at the source of the signal, she discovered that source were the remains of Edward Davis, who had died during the battle. The installation disintegrated Davis's corpse and encapsulated it in an unknown device, and with the help of a [[D77H-TCI Pelican]], Palmer took the remains of her comrade with her.<ref name="hydra">'''Halo: Spartan Assault''', ''[[Operation F: Hydra]]''</ref>

Upon ''Infinity'''s return to [[Earth]], Palmer was requested to appear before the [[UNSC Security Council]] at [[HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6]] along with Captain Lasky. There, she and Lasky were debriefed about the [[Second Battle of Requiem]]. Admiral Serin Osman berated Lasky over the complete destruction of Requiem and the failed assassination of Dr. Halsey. Osman then asked Commander Palmer if Lasky had deliberately sent Fireteam Majestic to stop her from eliminating Halsey. To protect Lasky from any ramifications, Palmer lied to Osman and claimed that Majestic was there for backup.  

Palmer, along with Majestic team, were deployed to investigate a potential source of interference emanating from the surface of a nearby planet, provisionally designated [[Aktis IV]]. Upon landing on an island, the Spartans engaged and defeated a detachment of Covenant forces and subsequently discovered a recently excavated Forerunner structure. Dr. Glassman arrived on the surface of Aktis IV to examine the Forerunner structure, with the Spartans providing cover. Glassman theorized the structure to be part of 'Mdama's [[teleportation grid|translocation grid]] and soon discovered a Forerunner artifact that was seemingly compatible with the Janus Key. Unknown to Glassman and the Spartans, the artifact was in fact a decoy created to by Halsey and 'Mdama deceive the UNSC into taking their half of the Janus Key to the surface. Glassman requested to have lab equipment brought to the Forerunner site along with the UNSC's half of the Janus Key in order to analyze the artifact; although hesitant, Palmer reluctantly agreed and contacted Lasky. As the Pelican carrying the Key approached the Forerunner site accompanied by a [[F-41 Broadsword|Broadsword]] escort, the UNSC craft were suddenly struck by 'Mdama's Covenant anti-air artillery. This triggered a massive ambush from 'Mdama's forces and the Spartans were quickly forced to pull back into the Forerunner structure.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 14|Issue #14]]''</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}}

Upon their arrival at Sanghelios, Sarah Palmer, along with Dr. Halsey and Fireteam Osiris, were escorted by a [[Sword of Sanghelios]] to the [[Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter]] while he was engaged in combat. After a quick firefight, the Spartans and Dr. Halsey were taken to the Arbiter's base camp. There they acknowledged that the Guardian was in [[Sunaion]], 'Mdama's Covenant's last stronghold. To gain access to the Guardian the Spartans had to obtain [[Constructor]], which could interface with the Guardian and delay Cortana's control of it, lessen the damage at its point of exit, and slow it down so Osiris could board and follow the Guardian.<ref name="alliance">'''Halo 5: Guardians''', campaign level ''[[Alliance]]''</ref> During the [[Battle of Nuusra|Constructor's extraction]] Sarah Palmer provided Osiris with transportation and battlefield support. After the retrieval of the Constructor Palmer returned to the Arbiter's base camp to prepare for their [[Battle of Sunaion|assault on Sunaion]].<ref name="enemy lines">'''Halo 5: Guardians''', campaign level ''[[Enemy Lines]]''</ref> During this joint Spartan-Sword of Sanghelios operation she escorted Dr. Halsey aboard the Pelican while the Osiris and Arbiter's forces were fighting on the ground. During the ensuing battle, the Guardian was awakened. Palmer ordered Fireteam Osiris to board her Pelican so she could deliver them to the Guardian. Though their Pelican was hit by a Banshee, Osiris managed to board the Guardian which transported them to [[Genesis]]. Jumping into the slipspace the Guardian launched an EMP attack which shut down Palmer's Pelican, making them fall straight towards the ocean.{{Ref/Reuse|sunaion}}
