Several weeks went by as the design teams received their preliminary assignments.
The LMC was a very different company from just a year or even half a year ago. While Ves and Task Force Predator dove into the Nyxian Gap, Raymond Billingsley-Larkinson slowly beefed up the overhead of the company.
This not only resulted in the growth of the Marketing Department, but also led to the formation of the Product Research Department.
When Ves confronted the COO of the LMC about this surprising addition, Raymond supplied his reasoning.
"The Design Department is purely focused on designing mechs while the Marketing Department is mainly oriented towards marketing our existing products. " He explained while he stroked the back of Freddie, his grey Persian cat. "Certainly, the latter is also engaged in researching market trends and such, but the analysts who work there do not possess a good grasp on the technical side of mechs."
