Given all of the changes that happened while Ves attended the Survivalist conference, the members of the Golden Skull Alliance quickly agreed that it was not suitable for them to linger in the Corellix System any longer.
The fleet had begun to journey back to the Bortele System, leaving behind a lot of valuable and partially processed alien warships and assorted debris.
Fortunately, a mercenary fleet was already on the way to guard all of the remaining spoils. A modest but still fairly sizable squadron of vessels opted to remain behind in order to keep an eye on everything.
Ves meanwhile spent the night while surrounded by the love of his wife and children once again.
As soon as morning arrived, he felt both refreshed and fulfilled in a way that no amount of gains in the conference could equal.
