In the days since he returned from his infamous business trip, Ves spent most of his time in the design lab by himself.
Sure, he regularly collaborated with Gloriana. He also offered regular tutoring sessions to both Alexa Streon and the guest mech designers from the Vulcan Empire.
Each of them enabled Ves to remain somewhat connected to the happenings within the Design Department.
Nonetheless, ever since he recruited a whopping 25 Journeyman Mech Designers at once, Ves felt out of touch with the rest of the institution.
He missed the presence of many of the old-timers such as Juliet Stameros and Sara Voiken.
They had all opted to undergo EdNet training for a maximum duration of 4 years, which meant they would be missing out on this crucial development period.
Yet they all felt the need to undergo training in an accelerated virtual learning environment because they knew they would fail to keep up with the development of the clan.
