He began to consider what he should do next. He couldn't avoid fabricating a prototype and send it off to testing. Even though he had absolute faith in his design, as a responsible mech designer he should always verify the performance of his designs.
"It's a matter of principle. Mech designers should not deliver untested mechs to their clients."
However, while the prototype went off for testing, that didn't mean he should stay idle. He could immediately proceed with fabricating the set of six copies of the design, each exhibiting small variations in their visual and spiritual design.
It was easy for him to make cosmetic adjustments to his mechs. "I don't need to touch the contours of the mech. I can just add some variety to the tabards instead."
