"There's something strange about the Loquacious Raphael."
Ves looked past its ungainly name and its unusual loadout. Instead, he began to dip his perspective into Mr. Reeve's design philosophy.
He quickly found out that this was an exceedingly dangerous move. Higher-ranked mech designers constantly warned those who haven't formed their own design philosophies that they shouldn't take too much inspiration from the works of their betters.
The older generation trod their own path. Following in their footsteps risked turning younger mech designers into pale imitations of their teachers.
Though he started to speculate over incomplete data, what the Detemen League managed to gather so far painted a broad enough picture of the Raphael's intended use.
"Just like other hybrid mechs, the Raphael is built to impress."
While vanity definitely played a major role, the mech's entire design was suffused with the intention of making an impact on allies and enemies alike.
