Upgrading the gear of his student gave Ves a lot more reassurance about her survival in the upcoming exploration mission.
Ketis continually insisted on taking part, saying that she was completely unlike the lab nerds who were content to fiddle with designs all day.

Inwardly, he asked himself whether he would stay still if anything ever went amiss. If the Dry Snakes ever captured the Swordmaiden mech designer, Ves would certainly commit his entire task force to rescuing her no matter the cost.
If they managed to kill Ketis, then Ves did not even dare to think how he would react in such a situation!
