When Ves entered the design lab, he immediately sensed the subdued mood among his mech designers.
After asking a few questions, he quickly found out why his Braves weren't so cheerful at the moment.
The design lab sat adjacent to the mech workshop. Normally, that wasn't much of a problem, but this time was different!
Ves recalled that he ordered the statue of the Unending One to be moved in the workshop. Even though the statue was completely inert, every assistant had taken a look at it and regretted their decision!
The frightfully life-like depiction of the tentacled whale caused everyone to recall the terror they felt at the appearance of the giant avatar of the dark god. Though the Black Cats made sure that none of the footage of the Battle of Ulimo Citadel at that stage survived, the memories still lived on. Glimpsing the unnerving black alloy statue was enough to trigger people's trauma!
