Jace stood in his armor with a VE Assault Rifle. He deemed the Wildfire too overpowered for a protection detail. He did the same thing with several other weapons. So the rest of his squad were mostly just wielding some stunners while he and Nila were the only two that had lethal heavy armaments.
It was because he and Nila would be by the High Priestesses side the entire time she was negotiating. They stood at the hangar door of the Venture as there was a loud metal clanging noise. He looked over at the High Priestess who stood next to him and was still staring. They could already begin to make out the cheering crowds.
"Where is the sword you took from Nila? Did you sacrifice it to reverse engineer the metal?" The High Priestess asked as she looked over him.
