It's nice to see a familiar face. Palmer stops in his tracks as he sees Prometheus, turning to greet the other man warmly. It's good to meet someone he can discuss his concerns with. It's been bothering him for some time that he can't go back yet.

"Well, I ain't got much of a choice," Palmer says as he turns to speak with Prometheus. "If I don't go back and my friends get killed, I'll be responsible for what happened to them. And those ice creatures have to be stopped. They can't be reasoned with. I tried." It was a reckless thing to do, but he feels better for having given them that chance.
