"Are you sure you don't want to leave with our batch?" Lieutenant Burke asked Ves. "Our job is done here."
Ves shook his head. "I'll follow you out in the next transport. I want to be there while the rebels interrogate Lord Javier. I've managed to convince the commander that my presence would be useful if Javier spills out anything related to mechs."
