[If there's one thing made very clear by the specialist's explanation, it's that this mission is every bit as dangerous as it sounded initially. Despite that, though, Joshua - clad in a long-sleeved variant of the outfit he wore during the last draft, albeit wearing gloves rather than bandages - doesn't seem to be particularly alarmed by the new information. If anything, he's oddly calm. And why wouldn't he be? High-risk missions are something he's used to, after all.
...The added risk of this thing potentially breaching the surrounding barrier if they fail is definitely something new, though. But that's just another incentive for them to try their best, right?
Once he finishes putting on his own gas mask, unless someone catches his attention or addresses him first, Joshua's only going to head over to the others in his team before they all head down to the next floor. He doesn't really want to spend more time up here than absolutely necessary, so he'll mostly refrain from starting conversations himself for now.]

Part 2
[Once they're actually progressing through the floors, there's a bit of a shift in Joshua's behavior: every so often, he'll look toward the bulbous eyes on their surroundings. The flesh covering everything is admittedly a bit strange, but it's those eyes that bother him, and rather noticeably at that. He really does not like the fact that they can't seem to avoid being watched by this creature so far. He's used to hiding from his targets, not being in plain sight, and his repeated glances toward the eyes to confirm if they're still tracking them likely makes it obvious that he's not all that happy about this, to say the least.]
