Ves took a rare excursion to orbit. A hefty guard force consisting of both Avatar and Kronon mechs surrounded his heavily-armored shuttle as it climbed from the surface.
Neither the Avatars nor the Ylvainans were complacent when it came to the safety of Ves! Past events had already shown that his life was far from secure.
With over a hundred mechs acting as an honor guard, every other traffic automatically made way as they received new instruction from traffic control.
The shuttle eventually docked with an orbital shipyard. Though it wasn't particularly large or impressive, it was the best that Ves could hire in the Kesseling System.
After Ves, Lucky, Nitaa and a lot of other guards emerged from the shuttle, they moved to the heart of the shipyard.
A director met them on their way.
"How long will it take to complete the overhauls to the Scarlet Rose?" Ves asked.
"Four months at the very least."
