Ves felt as if he was suffering a minor crisis of confidence.
For a long time, he had always held the Fist of Defiance in good regard.
Sure, the god pilot might come across as a brainless meathead when he spoke, but his heart was always in the right place.
Ves had always assumed that the Fist of Defiance was an upright and honorable god pilot.
Now, he had become a lot less certain about this assumption.
Had he always misunderstood the Fist of Defiance?
Or had Ves overestimated the god pilot's honor?
He grew disappointed when he learned that the Fist of Defiance and the Xenotechnician made a secret accord about engaging in diplomacy with the cosmopolitans and the native aliens.
Ves hated the Cosmopolitan Movement.
