:Oh dear god, not this again. Her body language in the altercation between Captain Del Rio and John-117 is simply one of being uneasy. Does she obey the orders of her superior officer, a man that continues to make terrible decisions and does not have the respect and admiration of his crew? Or does she back the simple veteran soldier, who she seems to view as her contemporary, a reputably legendary man and personally knows the situation on the ground. She only supported her Captain with words because her experience as an officer tells her that he'll be canned the second they get back home. Sarah respects John enough to allow him, without question, to lead her Spartans and when necessary, conduct missions he finds vital to a successful mission outcome. {{User:Grizzlei/Sig}} | :Oh dear god, not this again.

Is it possible that Palmer was actually a Lieutenant Commander during the first tour of Requiem? I'm sure i remember that in the scene where Del Rio orders the arrest of Chief, he motions to Palmer and says Lieutenant, maybe short for Lieutenant Commander, (doubting the fact she was just a lieutenant in charge of a full spartan division, and managed to get promoted up to commander in 6 months). This could also show why there is no apparent XO during the second tour of Requiem as she, after being promoted to Commander, is legible to fulfill that role of XO. Also, in the Limited edition of H4, the Infinity briefing packets and such, which are dated during the time of the second tour, she signs documents as Spartan Sarah Palmer, Infinity Commander. If she was just a commander - not of the Infinity's naval crew - wouldn't it just be signed Spartan Sarah Palmer, Commander? And before this may be mentioned - I do acknowlegde the fact that the Spartans are now an individual Branch, but maybe as they are assigned to Infinity, she could still serve as XO or at least acting XO. Thoughts? | |||
