scouter

Everset went down in the scouter, maintaining radio contact with Jones, in the ship.

Why not let Xavier take the scouter down for overt diversion, and drop Arthur off in the helihopper for a low-level check?

Such a weapon as had brought down the helihopper and scouter was patently beyond reach of his own latter-day technology.

Your reptile is a scouter, or I'm no judge of Indian paints and Indian deviltries!

The port was still open, and the empty carrier rack in the bow told him that Gibson had not yet returned with the scouter.
