With the active cooperation of the Elegant Rage, Ves made faster progress in figuring out a theoretical framework for Woodsap mechs.
Ves continually felt grateful towards the Elegant Rage for providing him with an excellent example on how to fuse wood-based technology with conventional metallic technology.
To put it in extremely simple terms, Venerable Lanie's mech already possessed an incomplete prototype of the Carmine System!
Ves merely had to make use of the existing foundation of wood integration and add a few more elements in order to turn it into a Woodsap mech.
There were two important problems that he needed to solve in order to complete his modifications.
First, he needed to find a way to replace the regular variety of wood with ebony wood.
Back during the sample retrieval mission, the fallen Elegant Rage absorbed the remains of fallen wooden mechs in order to make her mech frame whole again.
