Considering the transient nature of his design, Ves skipped the growth element of the X-Factor. In order to win over the test pilots as quickly as possible, he decided to focus on immediate impact.
By now, Ves developed a standard procedure of sorts when trying to shape the X-Factor. At his current level of concentration, he'd be able to work with a maximum of three images, all of which served a different purpose that would synergise with each other when they came together.
The first image defined and enhanced the role of the design. The second image centered around a powerful totem animal that introduced the right mix of primal instincts into the design. The third image should be based around the myth of a legendary human figure in order to strengthen his design's higher level cognition.
With this division of images, Ves established his first formal X-Factor technique. He called it the Triple Division for convenience.
