With the sandman calamity looming over the rimward side of the star sector, Ves temporarily forgot about the Wodins.
It turned out that the Hexers hadn't been keeping to themselves anymore. Initially, the Wodins largely treated others like air. It was as if interacting with third-raters was beneath them. Why should they spare any attention to their lessers?
The change in attitude came as a surprise. Various Wodins began to show up more often at the organizations affiliated with Ves and the Clan.
Dr. Ranya began to cooperate more extensively with Dr. Lupo and other medical specialists.
Venerable Brutus and a number of mech pilots from the Glory Battalion tutored the Avatars and the Larkinsons on how to pilot a second-class mech.
Even Gloriana showed up at the Friedhold Estate and began to mingle with the Larkinsons!
