Slow to Change

After almost a week of frantic preparation, the task force finally prepared their fake pirate outfit.

Ketis, Dietrich and several hundred other Larkinsons each donned their pirate disguises and boarded one of the two ships.

Each vessel had been overhauled in a deliberately sloppy manner that made them appear more shabby and derelict than before. The Avatars even fired their weapons onto their hull plating in order to make their disguise more convincing!

In fact, the damage to one of the light carriers was so severe that it desperately required repairs. If the damaged vessel couldn't be patched, then she would certainly shut down in a matter of weeks!

With such a disaster hanging over their heads, the so-called 'Mirror Raiders' possessed ample reason to approach and dock at an unfamiliar pirate base!

As the ships and mechs of the Mirror Raiders carefully left the bosom of Task Force Predator, Ves watched them go on the bridge of the Scarlet Rose.
