Scott followed John, picking off the few creatures that thought it worth their while to follow the trio. Running after the Spartan, keeping the path clear, the ODST went through the portal shortly after to be met by the sight of Alastor kneeling instead of on his back. Stopping short of the two, Scott switched his gun again, reloading the one in his hand in a fluid motion.<br/><br/>He watched Alastor stand, keeping a careful eye on him for any signs that he might go down again. He didn't say anything though as John seemed to have that covered already.<br/><br/>"You're just full of surprises now aren't you?" He remarked, as the Spartan answered the other's question.<br/><br/>Deciding to reload his other rifle while they had a moment, Scott turned partially to John.<br/>"What's the next check point?" He asked, still watching Alastor. He had never seen someone take a hit like that and bounce back so quickly, usually a hit half as powerful left most men complaining and grumbling as soon as they were over the initial shock. Wondering briefly if the Spartan was still suffering from shock, Scott reclipped one rifle, holding the second at the ready, glad that only Lunamaria could read his thoughts. He wasn't usually this much of a worrier, concluding that it must be related to the recent events they had just gone through, the ODST pushed these thoughts away to focus on the mission as he had been taught over and over again.
