Back at the design labs, the Larkinson mech took shape. The rifleman mech, space knight, lancer mech and swordsman mech configurations all became increasingly more real as Ves, Gloriana and their design teams continually added to the overall design.
Yet as the design project was about to reach an advanced stage where no more major additions took place, Ves hesitated.
When he took a step back and evaluated their current progress, he felt there was something missing from the mech design.
This was a feeling borne from his instinct as a mech designer. He didn't quite know the reason why he felt his mech design was lacking, but he trusted in it enough to pause and reflect on his work.
"What's missing?" He asked.
Gloriana, who was seated at his side, leaned into his arm and viewed the projections of the design schematics with interest.
