Ves developed mixed feelings towards MTA.
On one hand, he couldn't quite feel comfortable how one of the arbiters of human space engaged in such blatant human experimentation.
Not even the elite soldiers and officers of the New Rubarth Empire could escape the fate of becoming the MTA's experimental materials!
On the other hand, the highly detailed and substantially more varied research data produced by these unethical experiments exceeded his imagination!
Master Termaneo Dervidian was a much more thorough and experienced researcher than Ves. The man not only came up with much more elaborate and varied experimental designs, but also possessed the facilities and resources to enact them all without running into practical limitations.
As a result, Master Dervidian managed to collect a lot more research results in two hours than Ves had obtained in months!
Of course, much of that had to do with Ves' reluctance in engaging in human experimentation.
