Rust didn't like being exposed and stopped. It made his paranoia worse. Though they were near 0-0 visibility Rust didn't want to chance a break in the wind gave a hostile element the advantage.

He couldn't make suggestions, being the lowest ranked of everyone. That didn't matter he could make requests. "Anastasia, follow me, keep frosty. Look for signs of the enemy, okay?" He shouted over the howling wind, far enough away from the clamor around MacDonald to not be too distracting. He double checks his slings, one for the M16A2 he was carrying in his hands, the other for the Pig. He set off counterclockwise.

Ana follows Rust as he heads off to secure the perimeter.

"Don't loose sight of the cabin." She says as they move.

"Ти мусиш це зробити." Thrusting a length of rope, into her hand he demonstrated the knot he had shown her earlier tying to his belt. '"Lifeline."

"Я шукатиму диких собак. The ones I have killed are large, and hungry."

"... and delicious..."

Cristea watches MacDonald carefully as the sugar, caffeine, and warmth begin to take effect. He checks pulse and responses intermittently. Only when he's satisfied does he look toward Simmons and McBride, 'I would like him inside - warmer and under observation - until I am satisfied this has passed.'

"Staff Sarn't, this wild dog country. Gonna take Ana and look 'round wit'yo say so." Rust combined the request with his plan.

Justin starts to regain his senses. He looks towards Dr. Cristea and any words die in his throat. He simply nods and allows himself to be directed.

Simmons says:
"Bottom line, Sergeant: he was moving well until the halt, then became dazed and wasn't responding normally. McCain caught it early, Doc's on him now, and I recommend we shelter him until Doc says he's good to continue."
McBride listening to Simmons give his report as he watched the Doctor work and looked for response from MacDonald. As Simmons finishes and makes his recommendations. McBride nods thoughtfully. "Good job to both you and Rooster for catching this early. I’ll take your recommendations under advisement and, of course, will consult with the doctor as well. Let’s set a tight perimeter for now until we get MacDonald ready to go again. Everybody needs to keep a visual on the person or anchor point to each side of them."

He moves over to the Doctor and MacDonald. He watches Mac’s eyes for a minute or two as the Doctor continues his ministrations.

"Hey Mac, what happened? You ok?". He watches MacDonald’s eyes, looking for signs of confusion, but also seeing the improvements Dr. Cristea’s treatments are making already. He waits for Mac’s answer…
Doctor Cristea says:

"understood, Doctor. But we still have a couple of hours worth of movement before we reach our objective for today. Tell me now, is this something we can press through or is he currently or likely to become a casualty we need to evac?"

McBride looks to MacDonald. "That question is for you, to, MacDonald. Can you push through this or are you done?"
