Story[edit]

Spoiler Warning: Plot details follow.

Portman insists on calling for reinforcements after the death of Goat. Failing to convince Sarge, he feigns needing to "take a shit," and goes into a restroom in order to secretly call for backup using his radio. After he finishes his call, he hears something moving inside the ceiling. Dropping the clip for his rifle on the floor accidentally, he struggles to retrieve it. Shortly afterward, an imp grabs him by the face from above, through the ceiling, and tosses him around like a rag doll, beating him against the walls of the restroom stall. The rest of the squad arrives, shooting the imp in the arm and causing it to drop Portman to the floor. Sarge fires the BFG at the imp, dissolving a large portion of the ceiling and walls, but Portman is already dead as confirmed by The Kid (perhaps fortunately, as his body is giving off smoke due to exposure to the BFG blast's energy).

The attack on Portman was witnessed by Marcus Pinzerowski through his gun cam. Rather than alert the squad of what was going on, Pinky only smiled to himself about the situation simply because Portman had earlier insulted him.
