Ves grew curious about Captain Nodan's usage of the B-stone as a sleeping aid.
He decided to try it out himself.
Surprisingly, just placing the B-stone in the vicinity of his bed while he slumbered truly increased the quality of his rest!
When Ves woke up the next day, he shoved Lucky's body from his face and turned his head towards the case holding the B-stone on the bedside table.
If he looked at it with his normal eyes, he didn't see anything special. The rock was completely inert.
It was only until he observed with his spiritual senses that he detected a subtle change.
Ever since Task Force Predator entered the Nyxian Gap, Ves felt as if he entered a huge interference field.
The difference wasn't immediately apparent at the outermost edge of the region, but as time passed by, the disturbance in the surrounding space gradually grew stronger.
