The return of the first detachment of Avatars and Sentinels from the front was a much anticipated affair.
Surprisingly, Melkor already sent a message to Ves. The Avatar Commander requested a subdued rather than a bombastic ceremony.
The war wasn't over yet. Planets and star systems continued to fall while countless mech pilots and starfighter pilots sacrificed their lives every day.
In addition, the first batch of returning soldiers brought back the coffins of the fallen.
For that reason, Ves, Gloriana, and everyone else who worked for the Avatars or the LMC turned out to the landing zone of the Mech Nursery on a dreary morning.
In addition to his organization, Ves also invited the Larkinsons and the mech cadets attending their academy to take part in this event.
Every future mech pilot ought to become aware of what was in store for them. Each mech cadet had to accept the prospect of returning to their homes in a coffin one day.
