The crisis that the Larkinson Clan got caught up in caused a lot of work to be delayed.
As the head and lead designers of the Living Mech Corporation, Ves and Gloriana held extremely important responsibilities that could not be replaced by anyone else.
Every hour of their time was worth a lot of money. It was quite wasteful for them to spend time on activities other than designing fantastic new mechs.
Yet on the first day after the survivors of the civil war returned to the expeditionary fleet, the married couple completely shoved aside their responsibilities in order to satisfy their emotional needs.
Mech designers were humans as well. Ves did not feel like getting back to work right after surviving another harrowing crisis.
While Gloriana did not endure any threats to her life this time, she suffered just as badly as him due to her persistent fears.
