Normally Gordon would use the gravity gun here, but he's got a bad feeling about what might be lurking in there and he'd prefer to be able to smash it on sight if it turned out to be organic. The dark energy reactor that once supercharged the gravgun to the point where he could use it on living matter was destroyed long ago, so there's really only one choice. Fortunately, he's tall enough to hook the crowbar's end around one of the slats and anchor it decently- and fortunately, carrying all the guns and all the weight of the HEV suit that Gordon routinely does is a fantastic way to build upper body strength.
There's a horrifying screech of metal as the vent cover starts ripping apart. There's also a horrifying screech of another kind entirely, but it gets cut short by a sick wet splud as Gordon leaves off ripping the shaft open to swat the alien parasite into the nearest wall, where it leaves a vile yellow-grey smear as it falls to the floor.
