Ryan's frozen absolutely still for a moment as he tries to comprehend two things. One, Agent N is no longer a concern. This is due to the second thing he's trying to comprehend: HUGE FUCKING ALIEN.
This can't be good.
It's the stench that starts him moving again, not that the room hasn't been smelling like burnt Oil, burnt flesh, aggression, fear, and so on and so forth, but that thing smells like a trash dump. Ryan's trying not to gag when Ray starts yelling about the shields attracting the damn thing. He flicks his own off in a second and turns to look for Suzi to make sure she's done the same.
That's when he notices she's stopped screaming.
He runs for her hiding spot, sliding to a stop and kneeling in front of her still form. He reaches out a hand, but can't get closer to her skin than a few inches. Her shield is still on.
And the floor is vibrating rather badly.
"Wake up, please, Suzi, wake up!" he says roughly, starting to shake her. He knows she shouldn't be moved, but better to deal with disorientation than digestion.

There's a shadow.
"Oh, fuck," he says, looking up.
