Ves had never doubted his ability to rise above the masses and become a part of the upper echelon of whatever society he lived in. He enjoyed too many advantages and he had already started to get on the good side of the MTA Survivalist Faction.
Due to this certainty, Ves was not impatient about his own development. He would work his way to becoming a Senior and a Master and gradually increase the scope of his business activities corresponding to his rank.
This was how every other mech designer worked and for good reason. It was a bit overblown for Apprentices or Journeymen to compete directly against Masters due to the enormous disparity in design ability!
Calabast's proposal forced Ves to break from this comfortable pattern and capture much more market share than he should!
The repercussions would be great and the Larkinson Clan would definitely get embroiled in different struggles.
