The meeting with Master Ginevra Hubert-Colmain ultimately ended without the result that Ves desired.
Though he learned a lot about energy conversion and the properties of E energy in general, he failed to gain her agreement to collaborate on the Montebra design.
He did not blame her. She already taught him plenty of insights, and she was preoccupied with her own affairs.
The biggest regret was that he could not get her to exchange the principles of her TEMP mechanism to him. The experimental tech had a lot of potential, but it was too immature and posed too much of a threat to the mech and mech pilot in its current form. It was not responsible to hand it over to another mech designer who did not possess the technological qualifications to harness it correctly.
By the end of the lengthy exchange, both Ves and Master Ginevra stood up and shook hands yet again.
