The Xenotechnician was the second Star Designer that Ves met in his life.
People always considered it a great honor to be in the proximity of one of the apex figures of humanity.
To be able to receive the attention of one of these honored figures and speak with them on and individual basis was a form of validation that could make a lot of individuals feel validated beyond any comparison!
Star Designers were not average individuals. They belonged to the tiny but extremely dignified group of True Gods of the human race.
Out of more human individuals than anyone could count, only the very best and the most persevering among them had managed to overcome all of the hurdles in their path and reach the end destination where they had fully shed all of their mortal weaknesses!
