Ves began to entertain increasingly more alarming concerns about the Xenotechnician.
He was still willing to believe that the Xenotechnician genuinely wanted to serve red humanity.
Yet there were very different ways to do so. If the Star Designer thought that red humanity was on its way of destroying itself by continuing to cling to the ideals of human supremacy, then he could easily justify the decision to induce painful losses in order to discredit these beliefs!
The Xenotechnician had to be extremely careful about making his moves, but a Star Designer had so many options available that he could probably get away with his deeds!
It was difficult for Ves to reconcile his initial impression of the Xenotechnician as an amiable grandfather figure with a ruthless ideologue that had more in common with the Cosmopolitan Movement than the Red Association!
Ves suddenly understood why Closier-17 regarded him with so much suspicion.
