While Ves mulled over the implications of accepting a commission to design a hero mech for Madame Cecily Curin, he decided to address some other matters.
"Where is Lucky and Ketis?" He frowned.
The moment the Barracuda touched down at the Mech Nursery, Ketis grabbed Lucky and quickly absconded to parts unknown.
Normally, Ves didn't pay too much attention to the comings and going of Ketis, but he was starting to miss having Lucky by his side.
Lucky was his cat! What right did Ketis have to monopolize his pet?!
After making use of the monitoring system, he finally tracked the errant pair down at his private laboratory floor.
Finding out that Ketis and Lucky barged into his private workshop and laboratory immediately alarmed Ves! That was his private sanctum! He never gave anyone permission to enter his lab because he required completely concentration when he designed his mechs!
