The new mech designers all looked eager and ready to go, but there was no way that Ves would allow them to work on the expert mech design projects straight away.
Putting them to work this way would just mess up the design teams and cause a lot of disruptions. No matter what prior work experience they held, the Design Department of the LMC developed its own system where mech designers teamed up into fixed groups and dedicated themselves to working on specific aspects of a mech design for long periods of time.
What mattered most to Ves was that every assistant gained an emotional attachment to the mech they were contributing. It was a lot easier to manage how other people affected a given mech design as long as it was the same group of people working on the same mechs.
