To say that Rashad is disappointed in the mortal institution to which he has pledged his (temporary and conditional) loyalty would ascribe a reaction to his new knowledge that simply isn't there. It would be more accurate to say that he is reassessing his decisions and the path he must follow in future. He knew at the start that no organization of mortals could truly aspire to be to him now what his superiors in the Heavenly Host were to him before his fall, but he was never made to create his own agenda. This was the first time in a very long time he had been reasonably sure he was being put to use for a worthwhile cause, but Sara is right. These scientists are doing nothing to intervene. Their work (and by distant extension, his work) is not serving to do anything more than to increase the knowledge and power of ROMAC.

While Marcus yells and Bill and Hector clean, Rashad relieves some of his own sense of wrongness with the world by sorting Bill's pens by color and size. "It should not be necessary to shout at them," he notes quietly in the midst of Marcus's tirade. Shouting at mortals rarely results in long term improvements.

He steps away from the desk (later Bill will reach for a pen and be very surprised to find the one he wants on the first try) and strides over to where Iman Sara is tormenting the supervisor. "This serves no purpose," he informs her. "We should leave here and spread word to the people likely to be affected."

So saying, he plucks the glasses out of her hand and gently but firmly puts them back on Marcus's face.
