The panel grilled Ves intensely about the Carmine System and its enormous implications.
When Ves realized the Carmine System for the first time when he completed the Bastion, he mainly fixated on two specific functions.

Second, the Carmine System could be used as a standalone control mechanism. This could theoretically enable norms who did not possess the right aptitude to pilot mechs, if only barely.
