Now that Ves took care of his immediate business, he turned his attention to a project that had been on his mind for a while.
"It's time to design my fifth original mech."
This would be a milestone for Ves. As long as he completed this project to the MTA and the market's satisfaction, he met all of the conditions to be recognized as a Journeyman!
With his thirtieth birthday within reach, Ves needed to design his next mech at a brisk pace in order to earn the much-coveted achievement of advancing to Journeyman while young!
"Mech designers who are older than thirty aren't young anymore in the eyes of the MTA." He muttered to himself.
