Ves smirked as he observed his latest initiative bearing fruit. Lots of fruit, in fact.
Ever since he stumbled upon an experimental new method that could potentially put people on the path to transcendence, he could not let this discovery go. He had to keep delving further in order to work out all of the problems and produce a workable result.
While it sounded crazy to continue his experiments during a time of crisis, Ves was too enthralled to put this new research on ice!
"I can't stop! I have to keep going! The sooner I crack the secret, the sooner I can put my gains to good use!"
He had become so obsessed with his current research project that he didn't even want to flee the planet. At least not too quickly. Once he returned to the expeditionary fleet, his access to test subjects would severely be hampered.
