While the Mirror Raiders scoped out Ulimo Citadel, the remainder of Task Force Predator had backed off in order to reduce the chances of discovery.
Though Ves constantly worried about Ketis, he really couldn't do much this far away. The only consolation he had was that Calabast dispatched a stealth shuttle bearing Lucky to the vicinity of Ulimo Citadel as backup.
He missed his cat a bit, but he didn't let the absence distract him from his many duties.
Aside from progressing his mech designs, he also paid a bit more attention to his subordinates.

Luckily, every new hire in the LMC's Design Department adjusted well to their new life and job. None of them were unmotivated or neglected their work.
