When Ves and Ketis emerged from the System Space again, they had come out for real.
Both mech designers had spent a lot of time away from reality and felt disconnected from the rest of the universe.
Neither of them let that bother them. They had plenty of time to anticipate their situations upon their return to the main universe. Rather than feeling all dramatic over their lack of integration into the current timeline, they decided to make more productive use of their time by converting much of their gains during the marathon into real contributions to society.
Ketis had brought out the Bitter Scimitar and planned to introduce it to her husband.
However, she first had to handle the recall of the 'recently' released Stormblade Samurai Mark II. She needed to act as quickly as possible and replace existing mechs with copies of an updated version of the commercial design that reflected her latest swordsmanship attainments!
