One of the downsides of traveling alongside an MTA frigate was that Ves couldn't get away with as many shenanigans.
For example, Ves did not dare to allow Director Ranya Wodin to proceed with the more controversial secret experiments that they had initially planned.
They even had to remain mindful of the words they said to each other lest they inadvertently ran afoul of the MTA sensibilities.
Fortunately, the Larkinson Biotech Institute was not short of research topics. One of the more relevant and interesting activities to Ves was the acquisition and rearing of mutated beasts.
When the expeditionary fleet last stayed in Vulit, the LBI acquired large batches of exobeasts and designer beasts to fill up the remaining biomes of the Dragon's Den.
