Chapter 2042: Old Comrades

A few days after his visit to the Surly Cockatrice, Ves received a very unexpected surprise.

A new group of Brighters arrived in the Cinach System. This time, they consisted of some very familiar comrades!

As soon as Ves heard the news, he immediately rearranged his schedule so that he would be ready to greet the new arrivals when they reached Cinach VI.

Soon enough, three war-scarred combat carriers and a small number of logistical ships arrived in orbit.

Ves re-read their names and studied their appearances as if to confirm they matched the ones in his past!

The Princely Jackal. The Shield of Hispania. The Gorgon's Gaze. All three of them were very familiar to Ves. He even spent a lot of time on one of them during his time in the Mech Corps!

The three vessels didn't immediately descend on the surface. Instead, the Princely Jackal dispatched just a single shuttle and a modest escort of mechs towards the temporary base of the Larkinson Clan.
