Ves would become a Senior sooner or later. He could feel it in his bones. Despite his relatively young age, his accumulation was substantial and his work caught on in the mech market. He derived many successful innovations based on his design philosophy and built up an increasingly more expansive theoretical framework of his specialty.
He was ready to engage in mech design at a higher level. He was tired of remaining stuck as Journeyman.
In the mech industry, a Journeyman was treated as a teenager that was better than an ignorant kid, but not by much.
Becoming a Senior was a watershed for a mech designer. Though Ves didn't exactly understand how much of a difference the rank would make in his work, the higher status alone was worth the effort to sprint towards advancement!
Ves did not know when he would be able to get rid of his status as a Journeyman, but he could feel that it would not take long. He just needed a single impetus to get over the edge.
