The three most honored Vandals remained in the guest area for three, boring days. The immense wealth and luxury on display in this section of BuSecA's headquarters formed an immensely stark contrast against the bare, utilitarian interior of the Shield of Hispania.
Some of them simply couldn't get used to decadence and pampering on offer. Many other citizens and foreign officials resided in the guest area as well. Some gathered in the bars and lounges in the common section to socialize.
Ves attempted to pass the time by lounging at a courtyard balcony, but the medals and ribbons pinned to his chest immediately attracted a lot of stares.
Due to the regulations of the Mech Corps, Ves was obligated to wear his dress uniform in this context. His dress uniform was a slightly more impressive version of his standard dark green mech designer uniform.
Normally, that wouldn't have drew much attention from the other guests. Even a couple of ribbons didn't seem so special.
