Ves could think about possibly replicating Lucky's gems in the distant future. The 'tech' involved in this incredibly deep and profound process was probably anything but simple!

This was the most critical usage of these gems, and the more powerful their effect, the greater their ability to transform what would otherwise be a serviceable mech into a stellar work of craftsmanship!
