"Are we looking at an alien or a human warship?"
This question was surprisingly hard to answer.
Mech designers such as Ves possessed a great understanding in engineering, but their expertise did not encompass shipbuilding. There was too much about starship design that still eluded their understanding.
Though Ves and many other mech designers formed their own theories, they could not speak with authority on this issue.
They mainly leaned on their resident ship experts to make sense of the grainy, low-quality readings transmitted by the low-profile probes.
It just so happened that the Larkinson Clan's versatility and comprehensiveness became a boon at this time. The Larkinson Navy had brought along an entire ship repair and shipbuilding vessel in the form of the Diligent Ovenbird.
