As the Larkinsons continued to preoccupy themselves with launching planetary raids and handling the aftermath of the battle in orbit, Ves eventually attended an important meeting.
Enough hours had passed for the Larkinson Army to rescue its trapped mech pilots and tally most of the gains and losses.
"Let's start with the unpleasant news first." Ves spoke shortly after he entered the virtual meeting room. "How many ships have we lost?"
The Larkinsons attending the virtual meeting turned all their heads towards Chief Minister Abigail Evern.
As the most senior naval expert in the clan, Abigail possessed the greatest understanding of the states of all of the starships that participated in the battle.
