The Rubarthans made a good choice to let Lord Richard Brownstone receive Ves.
The two had not kept in touch with each other after the start of the Carmine Revolution, but both of them had worked long enough together to develop a good working relationship. That sense of familiarity did not disappear once they completed a project.
Both Ves and Lord Richard therefore eased back into familiar ground. Although their priorities were much different from the past, they at least did not have to worry about getting hindered by trust issues.
The first day proceeded without incident. While Ves and Lord Richard got to know each other, the Bluejay Fleet partially contributed to the defense and security of the Philaster Crestia System.
Numerous warships veered away in order to go on patrol or voribug extermination duty.
Numerous mechs and warships strengthened the defensive perimeter around Philaster Crestia III.
