At this moment, the virtual screen in the center of the restaurant was playing a grand ceremony in Kato City welcoming the rescued soldiers. When the transport ship was landing, the reporters in the footage said to the camera excitedly, "Look! The transport ship full of Federation heroes has landed safely. This is an exhilarating moment. The Leray Federation has welcomed back her heroic sons and daughters."
The camera turned to the faces of the rescued soldiers' relatives, anxious, hopeful, relieved. Uncontrollable tears slid down their cheeks.
In the footage, Colonel Pete staggered a bit as he appeared at the hatch of the transport ship. The restaurant's sound system suddenly exploded with loud cheers, startling Fatty. He looked up, and when he saw the image on the virtual screen, he started to laugh. At that time, he was sitting in the cabin, declining Pete's invitation and pushing the Colonel out.
