Gloriana's workspace usually looked impeccable. She abhorred disorganization and always aimed to keep her desk, storage cabinets and other furniture neat and free of clutter.
This description did not match the current appearance of her current environment.
A stack of secure data pads were spread haphazardly over a table.
A few scale models of certain sections of the Disruptor Project were strewn on another table. A few parts had been pulled out of them and left on the side so that Gloriana could modify them and see how the changes affected the design on a physical level.
Gloriana had placed many other tools, knickknacks and messy projections around her. Her need to solve the remaining difficult problems was so great that she didn't even think it was worth it to clean up her items and make everything neat again.
This was the clearest indicator to Ves that his wife had gone too deep into the rabbit hole.
