When Palmer agreed to go on the expedition, he knew there would be danger. He didn't expect their team getting fired on, though it's not too surprising with the creatures lurking around. He's heard rumors of people being attacked, so it's a fair bet the creatures aren't there to make friends. Palmer's not in the mood for a repeat of the Thing.

Palmer almost jumps at the sound of shots. Sure, whoever's firing at them is a terrible shot, but that isn't very comforting. He obeys Furiosa's order, keeping an eye out for more attackers from the left side of the ship. It looks like somebody's on board after all. The bad news is that they don't seem to be very friendly at the moment.

Thankfully, the person or creature on board knows English, which will make things much easier to explain once things have calmed down. He knows that the language barrier and tensions on both sides can make things break down fast. He's learned from what happened to the Norwegians and wants to prevent a repeat.

"We come in peace!" Palmer shouts, hoping the stranger can hear him. He stays behind Furiosa, trying to avoid coming off as a target. "We're here on a rescue mission! Don't shoot!"
