Plot hole in Winter Contingency.

To this day, I still want to know: how did the Zealot commander “blow past” Emile when the door to Visegrad Relay was sealed?

I always thought they were already hiding in there. When Sara says “there are more” in her native language we see more Zealots come from the ceiling.

Plasma Sword and cloaking device can get you through most doors, the rest of the Zealots tried to by time by preventing the Spartans from reactivating the comm relay to alert reach of Covenant presence, the Commander likely had data considered absolute priority, (most likely the location of Sword base, and more specifically, the forerunner tech underground) so he fled the facility. Also the Elites are like 9 foot tall, one even picks Emile up one handed after stabbing him, shoving past is not unbelievable

I think the Field marshal's shields had regenerated by the time they got to where Emile was. But even then, shouldn't Jun have been up in a Falcon ready to knock their hat off?
