Marcellus said nothing, though it wasn't because he had nothing to say. Should he complain about their long and uncomfortable ride here? No, they had been informed that it would be like this before the mission had started. And he was no stranger to uncomfortable transport anyway. Should he ask about the city they would be entering, and its unique place in history and current events? No, he had researched it on his own beforehand, although the information he gleaned had been mostly superficial. It would be easy to figure out once they entered, anyway. Should he ask about the enemies they would face, and what measures they would need to take? Perhaps. But there some things he could glean through the things they brought with them. He didn't feel the need to bring up any of this. And besides, he didn't want to lose focus while driving.

Marcellus sat straight and tall, hands on the steering wheel, doing his best to skirt around the larger obstacles. He had gained and utilised skills over the course of his career, and driving had never been one of his strong points. In spite of this, despite looking focused and on edge, he was quite relaxed as he scanned his surroundings. He observed the massive construct of a city as they drove towards it, the shadows of the buildings stretching a looming shadow over their vehicle. It was the site of their next investigation. A loss of communication could mean many things, from a simple equipment failure to total annihilation. But if Rhodes Island had expected simple equipment failures then they would have sent a repair team. Perhaps the unit had been sent as a scouting force, but Marcellus didn't think so. His teammates weren't green recruits or fragile scouts, they were true warriors. His years of experience was telling him that trouble was brewing...

The grimacing, gray haired angel suddenly loosened up and shrugged his shoulders. There was no need to be so tense now. No point in jumping at shadows, no reason to cry wolf. He didn't know the team very well but he was sure they were ready to handle any situation they came across. And if they weren't, well, there would probably be time to worry about that later.
