"You gotta be fucking kidding me..."

- - Robert Palmer

Robert "Bob" Palmer was an assistant mechanic contracted by the Concordance Extraction Corporation and stationed aboard the research and mining outpost Con-Am 27 under Keith Childs. In 2557, Palmer and his crew became involved in surviving a small-scale xenomorph outbreak at Con-Am 27 alongside Ellen Ripley, as they were stalked and killed by a pair of xenomorphs one by one.

Finding Ripley
In Winter 2557, explorer Matias Jernigan crash-landed his D81-LRT Condor nearby the Concordance Extraction Corporation mining outpost Con-Am 27, where they were killed by the camp's commander, Barrie Montone, who attacked them in self-defense after thinking they had gone crazy. Afterwards, Norris and others rushed to extinguish the blaze from the explosion of the Condor and help carry Jernigan's to the laboratory. Hours later, during the fall of the evening, Dr. Marian Lazarus and pilot Ryan MacReady returned from their investigation to the nearby stranded freighter CMS Mimir, from where Jernigan came from, with a woman, Ellen Ripley and an Ovomorph.

Skirmish of Kamchatka
Hours later, Palmer was awakened by Ripley once she witnessed a xenomorph killing MacReady at the outpost's dog kennel. He arrived just in time to witness MacReady being mauled alive. The alien was almost killed by Childs later on with a M7057 flamethrower, but the creature managed to escape and later kill George Bennings. Palmer, alongside the rest of the personnel and Ripley, was drawn to the laboratory, where they discovered the blood locker and its samples had been destroyed by the xenomorph, which prevented a possible blood serum test from discovering who had been impregnated by a Facehugger, creating paranoia and leading Ripley to lock both Barrie Montone and Dr. Lazarus after suspecting of them.
