The mech designers of the Red Association belonged to a different class from the rest of their kind.
Their circumstances were far different from that of the space peasants that had to work under greater pressure.
Ves did not think that any mech designer outside of the sheltered garden of the Red Association would have the luxury to pursue a career based on designing a combination of disproven concepts such as multi-pilot mechs and juggernauts.
Only the Association had the wealth and resources needed to raise a mech designer like Polak Neziri to an exceedingly high standard only to allow him to pursue an absurd design philosophy!
Although the mechers had correctly designated his design philosophy as Class VIII, it sure sounded like Class IX to Ves!
Still, Polak's rationale was superficially logical enough that his ideas might actually produce useful results.
