Ves and his staff entered the base owned by an outfit called the Vindar Dustravens. They were different from many other outfits in that they exclusively fielded aerial mechs.
When times were good, their services were in high demand. Yet when the Chuko Republic's economy continued to tumble downwards, the Dustravens found themselves with very little jobs.
According to Commande Cinnabar, in order for them to keep paying the bills, they began to cooperate with the shadier organizations in Vindar.
Commander Inteo Meivin of the Dustravens greeted the commander of the Battle Criers with a hearty hug.
"Hugin! It's been almost half a decade!"
"Hahaha!" Cinnabar laughed as they let go of each other. "You look older than before! Times sure have changed."
