Hearing about the changes taking place in the Bright Republic and Cloudy Curtain really made Ves homesick.
His home state underwent huge changes that transformed almost every fabric of its society! The government didn't spare anything to muster its defenses and prepare for the inevitable sandman onslaught!
Ves wanted to return as soon as possible to lead the LMC through the current crisis!
"I only have one more stop before my fleet turns home." He reminded himself. "I still have some business at the Hertog Dominion. It wouldn't do me any good to skip this destination."
After his treacherous— ahem, patriotic assistant finished his daily briefing and left, Ves fell into thought.
With Nitaa standing on guard and Lucky crawling over his body, Ves tried his best to make sense of the past few days. His recent insights related to his design philosophy, the responses towards the sandman invasion and Gavin's double dealings all bubbled in his mind like a soup.
