Marcus did not seem pleased at his order, but Michael did not care for the whims of a troublesome Sigma here. Life and death were so closely intertwined in this underground hell and he would not allow foolishness to tip the scales and endanger dozens, perhaps hundreds.
However, he did not press the issue any further and watched the man's back as he walked away. Perhaps it was simple arrogance and a reluctance to accept orders. It was expected of the most talented soldiers, and he guessed it applied to Ascendants one hundred-fold. The Sigma had been perfectly polite throughout the day, perhaps it was the lingering impression of the stunt pulled when they first met tainting his perception. Whatever the case, Michael had no time to allow himself to be distracted any further.
Alone, Michael rested his eyes to clear his mind. The cavernous Facility was oppressive. The buzz and beeps of equipment was oppressive. It was well constructed, but the place was still a cage.
Interrupted, the doctor he had spoken to had returned with news. Dr. Weston would see to his accommodation herself, but the Sigma wanted to speak to her. Michael waved the uncomfortable woman away, no doubt she was glad to be gone by the look in her eye.

"She saw a flaring halo around his head, radiant in gold and blue. It shouted of glory and power to come"
"No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it."
