The Ark

Logistics? truly unexpected

3rd POV

As Saria guided Apollo and Marth, the rain subsided allowing the sun to break out from the clouds. The light changes the many shades of gray to the vibrant, eye-catching colors of the city. Marth eyes glowed at the sight of the city, Apollo saw this and while he enjoyed the rain seeing Marth eyes shine like that caused a smile to form.

"Here we are. All we need to do is wait here. I don't recommend buying anything here, I say it's overpriced." Saria stated to them

The three are stranded outside a café called 'Resting Dragon'.

"I can't believe it." Apollo had a shocked expression placed on his forehead. "Yall have Chinese Starbucks."

Saria walled into the café, Marth followed soon after leaving the lonely Apollo who mind is breaking from the Starbuck like shop in front of him. The interior of the café was simple, with tile floors and tables; nothing out of the ordinary. Saria and Marth found a place to sit. They didn't say a word. Saria was always stoic so this wasn't surprising but Marth was too worried about the glares she believed she was getting from people. Apollo, who has barely recovered, entered the shop taking a seat next to them. They didn't wait long until other RI operatives came.

"I hope this next job is less stressful than the last one. It worked me to death." Apollo said as he followed Saria and the others to the vehicle in question.

Saria explained the situation regarding Apollo and Marth to the others. This wasn't anything out of the ordinary for the members of RI, due to it hiring people from all walks of life. The checkout process to leave Lungmen went smoothly so they were out in the open land heading towards the landship. All members inside decided to do their own thing, some looked out the window, others like Marth were taking a nap.

"Hey Apollo, where does your experience lay? Rhodes Island has tons of departments."

The woman named Closure asked him. He was informed that she was the head of the engineering department for RI.

"Saria explained how you did a lot during that explosion. You even had really useful arts too. With the ability to have fully functioning servants would be a dream for the engineering department. I can't express the amount of times I felt as if my back was going to be destroyed by carrying all the heavy equipment." Closure said.

Apollo placed his hand towards his chest and when it made contact rather than his hand stopping on his chest, instead his hand went into his chest as if he was putting his hand through water.

"The hell?" Closure muttered in amazement of the moment.

Apollo pulled a sphere, the same ones that contained the homunculi he used in Lungmen.

"I lend you a small number. It does take some energy out of me but it isn't enough for me to worry about." Apollo stated.

"Your hand just went into your chest! Is that your art? What is it exactly." Closure asked with a bright light shining from her eyes. Apollo swore he would have gone blind if he kept looking.

"That right, I can only pull the spheres from my chest." Apollo explained as he pointed to where the cube was. There was a small symbol.

Saria though she was driving due to the largely flat land of the area; she was able to snatch a  glance at what's happening with Apollo in the passenger seat.

Closure was leaning closer and closer to Apollo trying to observe the symbol. Apollo palmed her face in return.

"The only thing that can save you at this point is god." Apollo said this as he grabbed the cross from his neck.
