Scott nodded and looked to John to make sure he too was ready. However, the other Spartan had already taken off, leaving them to continue on their own.<br/><br/>"Geez, was it something I said?" The ODST asked as he approached the edge of the cliff and began locating footholds and other slim ledges they could use. He knew Alastor was covering him, but he still tried his best to draw as little attention to himself as possible. Feeling a few loose stones skid down the cliff, Scott froze and hoped nothing had noticed. When a few seconds passed in relative silence, he continued his descent until he stood once more on solid ground. Moving further to the side away from the main battle, he gestured for Alastor to follow, raising his own rifle to cover the Spartan.<br/><br/>Meanwhile he glanced around for John who had seemingly vanished. Wondering briefly where he had gotten off to, since he was sort of their guide here, the ODST turned back to the cliff face to watch Alastor and make sure nothing came after him when he couldn't defend himself.
