Ves was impressed by Dread Captain Volkert's speech.
The 281 year old commanding officer spoke so much, yet shared so little relevant information.
This made a lot of sense. The aim of Volkert Argile was not to be transparent and explain to his crew what was about to happen ahead of time.
The point was to put everyone in a supportive state of mind. What was about to happen next would definitely cause them to be confronted by an unprecedented situation.
While the fleeters were way too well-trained to stop and gape at what was unfolding around them, it would be significantly damaging if they all became distracted by their doubts.
It was the job of the captain of the dreadnought to give everyone a reason to stand fast and work towards a common goal.
Volkert Argile's speech soon came to an end.
