"The war is over! The war is over!"
A week after Ves returned to New Foundation V, political support for the peace treaty grew past a critical threshold. The Bright Senate ratified the peace treaty and the bright president signed it shortly afterwards!
The Vesians also ratified the peace treaty at the same time, thereby marking the formal end of the war.
A cease-fire had already been agreed upon at the time of the peace treaty's unveiling, but only now did it appear that true peace had been achieved!
Ves looked out of the window of his guest quarters at New Foundation V and sighed in relief. As much as he learned so much from his wartime experiences, he did not wish to perpetuate this senseless conflict any longer than it had to. Now that both sides agreed to an early peace, his wartime service had come to an end.
