The more Ves talked with Master Decimus Horst, the more he learned how little he knew about heavy artillery mechs.
Though Ves already held an expectation that a Master Mech Designer who dedicated his entire life to designing mechs of this archetype could teach him a lot on this subject, the disparity between the two was massive!
Ves felt both humbled and inadequate in the face of all of the deep insights and profound truths that the older man possessed.
Many times, Ves looked down on overspecialized mech designers who gave up any attempt at designing other machines in favor of working on their favorite types of mechs and nothing else.
Their versatility was minimal and could not be relied upon at all if there was no need to supply additional mech designs that fell within their specialty.
Ves was an archetypical horizontal mech designer who was brimming with ideas and easily got bored if he worked on a single design or mech archetype for too long.
