When it failed to stop them, she used a rocket launcher to ground the vehicle. Planning to ground the convoy with an EMP, Panam and V stormed a corpo powerplant and modified the systems into an EMP.
After helping her recover her car and merchandise, she agreed to help them capture Hellman from Kang Tao forces, whose AV was predicted to pass across the Badlands. Some time later, Panam was contacted by a local merc V, who had been directed to her by Rogue to help recover Anders Hellman. Having messed up, she angrily confronted Rogue at the Afterlife, leaving without compensation or help to recover the stolen items. Despite moving away, Panam maintained communication with members of the Aldecados, including her close friends Mitch Anderson and Driss "Scorpion" Meriana.ĭuring an assignment to deliver "merchandise", Panam was betrayed by Nash, who stole both their cargo and her Thorton Mackinaw "Warhorse". Working as a mercenary under the fixer Rogue, Panam was often paired with nomad Nash Bane on a few gigs, though she was unaware he was Raffen Shiv. This came to a head when, due to her rebellious attitude, she eventually left the clan and moved to Night City.
However, she didn't see eye to eye with the clan's leader, Saul Bright, who was trying to strike a deal with Biotechnica in his attempt to keep the clan alive with consistent work and which Panam disapproved of, believing the clan should remain independent from corporations. This incident deeply affected Panam into her adulthood, to the point of never telling anyone what happened in order to forget about it.
Her best friend was captured by the Raffen Shiv when they were a child, only to be saved by Cassidy Righter. Panam Palmer was part of the Aldecaldos nomad tribe who had traveled to the Badlands outside Night City.
