Ves found it far too agonizing to choose between two good choices.
His heart yearned to travel to Ocanon VI and let go of everything related to mechs for a week.
He looked forward to letting down his guise as a patriarch and a man who attracted the attention of all of red humanity and immerse himself in various hunting and camping activities.
On the other hand, Port Salience enabled him to engage in his passion from a different angle.
Instead of designing mechs, Ves could reconnect with his work by seeing them in action.
He was curious to see how his older products fared as they grew alongside the mech athletes who they partnered with. The bonds they developed must be deep as mech athletes fought at a much greater frequency than professional soldiers.
