Ves had reasons to think about setting up secret organizations.
The most important demands were to ensure they remained totally obedient to him while also hiding their connection to their founder.
This was almost impossible to attain because the Red Association and to a lesser extent the Red Fleet constantly monitored everything within their reach!
Privacy was a nonexistent word to the mechers. They constantly liked to snoop in other people's business. They were especially interested in tracking the exploits of different mech designers.
Ves already knew without asking that he was probably the most compelling mech designer to monitor.
This was because he always managed to come up with crazy and subversive innovations!
To be honest, Ves felt incredibly stifled by all of the RA babysitters hanging over his head.
Compared to the time before the onset of the Age of Dawn, Ves could no longer act as unscrupulous as before!
