Ves very much deliberately chose to host a virtual meeting with the representatives of different faiths in a very sterile gunmetal gray chamber.
Many dignitaries were accustomed to holding meetings in beautiful and impressive virtual vistas such as palaces, star gardens and inside priceless monuments on Old Earth.
Though it would have been nice to talk in a place with a beautiful backdrop, Ves was not here to entertain the representatives.
It was also far too easy to trigger these religious dignitaries by displaying a tree or putting them inside a stone structure or whatever.
Though Gavin and his team had meticulously studied the preferences and requirements of every major religion invited to the meeting before setting up a detailed plan for the meeting venue, Ves only skimmed through it once before discarding it like junk.
