Ves visited the Dragon's Den for many reasons, but his first concern was the work facilities.
The Larkinson Biotech Institute had become more and more important over the years. It had constantly increased in scope and importance, but the Dragon's Den had failed to keep up with this growth.
As Ves toured the interior of the capital research vessel, he could observe plenty of signs of upgrades, yet there were limitations to everything. The Dragon's Den clearly needed to spend at least a year in an orbital drydock in order to undergo a comprehensive overhaul.
That was clearly a waste of time. The Larkinson Clan was better off buying or commissioning the construction of a brand new bioresearch ship.
Ves vastly preferred the latter solution, but it was unlikely that he could convince any shipyard to accept this order.
