Due to time constraints, Ves could only pay a short visit to Benny.
He grabbed Lucky before boarding a shuttle to a small frigate flying under the colors of the Streon Ancient Clan.
As befitting an old and leading Terran institution, the Streon vessel was both modern and premium. The frigate was only a few years old and had already received a recent upgrade that incorporated a small amount of superdimensional alloys.
Such an expenditure sounded extravagant even for a wealthy ancient clan, but the identity of Benny Smit far outweighed that of most members of the Streon Ancient Clan.
The lifelong assistant was one of the few individuals who repeatedly earned the trust of the Renewer of Terra.
They may be very different individuals, but their bond of brotherhood far outweighed their nominal ranks and positions.
For this reason, Ves did not feel insulted that the Streons merely dispatched their senechal this time.
