This really hadn't been John's day. Just a routine mission, up until the explosion - the shockwave from the grenades had sent him flying into the air, to the shock of his squad.
What had shocked them more was that he'd vanished in midair. To him, however, the thoughts accompanying the disappearance were more along the lines of 'oh, great. Another portal'.
Definitely just his luck, he thought, clinging to the rather ominously creaking tree somewhere in the Nexus. At least it'd stopped him before he crashed into the ground, but it left him in rather a precarious position. Could jump down, but it looked like a fair way to fall; the armour could probably take it, but he was still uncertain of its limits.
Ah, well. One solution to that. Helmet speakers turned up, he yelled. "Hey! Anyone around? Could you give me a hand here?"
He made a face and tried to ignore the noise.
