Although on the surface Ves appeared to have suffered a brainfart, he actually experienced a profound enlightenment.
His thinking on mech design grew more sophisticated and structured. The immediate benefit of driving away the fog was that he firmly knew his own place as well as the surrounding landscape of his complicated, multifaceted design philosophy.
Ves never expected to obtain these significant gains after concluding a long overdue talk with Ketis.
"It goes to show that even the most mundane experiences can potentially enrich a mech designer's understanding of their craft."
Such possibilities made it all the more important for people like him to step out of the lab and explore the galaxy.
That Ves gained his enlightenment after something as simple as a conversation with his student also strengthened one of his other theories.
"A mech designer's conduct is indicative of their design philosophies."
