  • The context of the situation and fact that Lasky isn't a Spartan makes that line make perfect sense.

    Kind of ironic though since that's essentially what she did in Halo 4 to try and kill Halsey

  • Except she's a Spartan and needed to infiltrate an enemy base.

  • Yeah but she didn't need to storm off mid argument with Lasky, and go by herself.

  • She didn't storm off. She was calmly prepping for a mission ordered by an Admiral to prevent Lasky from being court martialed. As a Spartan she has the capacity to go it alone. Lasky, a human, doesn't.

    She left in the middle of an argument, and had she not just refused to listen to Lasky, they could have compromised and she could have gone with Majestic Squad to at least return Halsey back to UNSC hands. Just because she is capable of going alone, doesn't mean she should have, Lasky ended up sending Majestic after her anyway. If she was working in cohesion with Majestic, Thorne wouldn't have interrupted her chance of killing Halsey anyway, as Jul wouldn't have seen him kill the Elite minor and have the Promethean Knights teleport to him, getting in the way of Palmer's shot. And she even says "this isn't my first rodeo" before leaving, which is basically synonymous to [quote]Going off all cowboy.[/quote]

    Osman ordered her to be killed. Lasky has no authority to override that order, even though he tried. As such, he had no authority to send majestic to rescue her, or to tell Palmer not go. Not without risking being court martialed. Palmer took up that order to ensure his safety and because she's arrogant enough to not trust any one else to do it right. Lasky, at the time with Palmer there, had no intention of sending anyone else. Not until it was clear he couldn't dissuade her. And I don't see how you can call calmly gearing up and walking out while following an admiral's orders "storming out"

  • She's storming off, because of that calm demeanour, she is hardly even giving Lasky any attention at all, and just leaves before the discussion is even finished. Halsey is wanted dead because she is captured by Jul's forces, if Palmer actually gave Lasky more than a glancing conversation as she just walked off regardless of of what was being said to her, they could have determined that, and compromised and sent Majestic squad with Palmer to get Halsey back. And then if she is still wanted dead, well then they could have taken it from there, in an actual controllable environment. Instead she just blindly follows the orders without any room for discussion or even just some proper preparation, which is what causes Lasky to send Majestic after her and ultimately ruin the chance she had to kill Halsey anyway.
