Team Recovery Vehicle

A functional unmarked van used by the archaeological recovery team for transporting heavy artifacts. Its rear compartment is open, revealing shadowed cargo space where the kouros sculpture sits secured during transit. The vehicle’s practical white paint is chipped along the wheel arches, bearing traces of salt from Orzola’s coastal air. Curt and Foster work methodically unstrapping the crate, their movements precise despite Curt’s dismissive attitude toward the Doctor’s expertise. The engine idles low and steady, humming beneath the rhythmic crash of waves against the jetty’s stones.
