Smart - both in how this guy's using his horns, and in following a perfectly reasonable order without asking a lot of questions. The bemusement and relief get noted, but obviously not commented on just yet.
Steve keeps his own head down, though grits his teeth and grunts when something particularly heavy impacts the shield - and because he's not entirely clear of flying debris hitting his back and shoulders and the noise is physically painful.
Once shrapnel stops flying though there's another second and 'got it' in a tinny voice in his (ringing) ear. He lowers the shield and stands up. Still to Sam: "All right, get back to the jet and get on trying to get an anonymous warning out to anyone with a couple of hundred miles. Do our own monitoring for -" He looks at Zerxus and lifts his eyebrows and then to him: "What's the likely time frame on trouble if any of them got out before we got here?"
