The meat suit had turned into something of a money pit to the Larkinson Biotech Institute.
Director Ranya Wodin frequently complained about all of the development resources being poured into the ongoing R&D project.
Though the meat suit performed increasingly better each time the researchers completed a new iteration, the gains didn't appear to be worth the effort anymore.
Ves recalled a conversation he had with Ranya about his continued support for the project.
"When do you have enough, Ves?" Ranya asked. "The amount of researchers and developers we have allocated to improving and optimizing the meat suit is starting to look wasteful. We could have accelerated the completion of many other useful projects if not for the fact that we are putting so much emphasis on the development of a situational product that is only applicable to a single individual mech."
"Do you truly think it is not worth it because it only applies to a single mech?"
