Ves gained a radically different perspective on the Interim Leadership Council now that he attended the third major council session.
Previously, he had been foisted into the ILC without knowing much if anything about how politics was being driven at the upper end of humanity's hierarchy.
He had risen far too quickly and the mechers insisted that he begin to participate in the leadership of human civilization.
He initially resisted this effort and just wanted to go back to designing his mechs.
Now that he had done a bit of political maneuvering himself, his perspective on the matter had shifted.
He no longer considered all of this wheeling and dealing to be a waste of his time anymore.
Though Ves still insisted that he should not allocate too much time on politicking, he at least saw the benefits of properly exercising his influence and leverage to expand his power base.
