The completion of the C22 Earth Ant along with the upgrades to the armor worn by Ketis marked the end of his preparations.
After thanking Chief Mandelson for her generous assistance, Ves left the armory wearing his new and lightweight Earth Ant along with a replacement for his standard-issue comm.
Major Verle promised him a better comm, so Ves drew out an officer-grade comm that integrated neatly in the systems of his C22 Earth Ant. While it came with some extra features, Ves chose to go for a high-quality comm model with the most extensive security suite and remote signal hardening.
Having been burned by an unsecure comm before, Ves wanted to make sure he didn't repeat his mistakes.
The officer-grade comm he received complimented his secure comm pretty well.
The officer-grade comm became his primary comm which he could use to connect to other Vandals remotely at a very long range.
