Gaylord had joined the system test this time as well.

Vesta hadn't expected to see him there. Spotting Gaylord across the room, she couldn't help but glance his way.

Vesta smiled at his insistence. "No need, really. It's just a short walk. You focus on your own work. I'll call you once I I land."
