Time for some treasure hunting :D
"It's not easy picking the right asteroid from all of these spinning rocks." Ves frowned as the first detailed optical scans poured in. He already turned dizzy as he looked at a hundred different asteroids. "Even if I know how the right asteroid should look like, this will take a fair bit of time."

Ves's marbles seem to be lost.
"All of you are heroes." Tears almost welled up in his eyes. "I will forever remember the great gift that you have given to me. This will become one of the greatest experiments of my life!"

By the power of Grayskull! I have the power!
Ves held up his tool and channeled his spiritual energy into the totem. The Hammer of Brilliance flared in a way that caused everyone to feel as if they could create the most perfect works if they used this amazing artifact!

And here comes the fairy godmother...
"Larkinsons. It appears that I have been forced to visit you once again." A very familiar voice called from the side.

Ves was paying attention to Sheridan's lecture and have now started to play the game too.
"Yup. I'll give you a list by the end of the week. I need to make a careful consideration of who should represent my will and the will of the clan."

Yes, please let my son be no.2! Competition isn't something to be afraid of.
"Then you should be prepared for this possible future. Don't suppress the emergence of competitors. Welcome them instead. We will all benefit if the LMC is no longer the sole source of external revenue for the clan. While your importance will diminish slightly, your design philosophy is still dominant enough to remain secure in your position. The main difference is that you can start to share your burdens and responsibilities to others."

Sheridan and the art of conmanship
"Because you have no choice." Shederin said in a deceptively calm voice. "If the clan proceeds along its current course, your ability to control it will become increasingly more tenuous. Instead of leaving everything to fate and risk losing control, it is better for you to initiate a more deliberate power-transfer process. The benefit of doing so on your own initiative is that you can decide how much power you want to give up and what sort of rights you grant to the representatives of the people."

Tusa, please enlighten Ves.
"Why did you even marry her in the first place?"

This reminds me so much of Gattaca.
A pair of scorching eyes pinned him down. "Crazy? Are you sure about that? Don't you want to set our first child up for our success? I don't want her to fall behind our subsequent children. A trillion hex credits won't even allow us to afford the best that the MTA can offer. I'm depending on our biotech specialists to add their own contributions to our future firstborn daughter."

Ves..how far have you fallen..
Naturally, Ves tried his best to remain on top of her list of devotees!

Though not mentioned, I bet the Shield of Samar can bend laser and projectile trajectories too and render heavy firepower worthless. Perhaps the effective firing angle of the Sentry will increase if she can sync it with Davia Stark!
The ability to generate a strong localized gravity well and bend the spacetime around an expert mech as sluggish as the Shield of Samar was too valuable to give up! This was especially the case when GT-535 would only begin to show its true value when Venerable Jannzi developed her strength further and approached the level of Patriarch Reginald Cross.

Ah the leash.
Ves directed a deep glance towards Master Willix. As far as he knew, she was the only source for GT-535. If this resonating material was about to become an essential source of strength to the Shield of Samar in the decades to come, then Ves would have to go back to the MTA Master every once in a while in order to replenish the Larkinson Clan's stockpile.

Why chase and drag when they simply cannot avoid the collision course? Think outside the (space)box.
Master Willix smiled wider. "In the past, I developed a resonating alloy in cooperation with others. When this material is integrated in the frame of an expert mech, it can allow an expert mech to bend spacetime around it as if it is a singularity. All space in its vicinity will be curved so that it becomes much more difficult to bypass it. Not just mechs, but also projectiles will bend when subjected to the artificial gravity well generated by an expert mech integrated with GT-535."

Ves entered into closed door cultivation not hesitating to absorb all of his spirit stones as he cultivated the illustrious one.
Ves had plenty of hours left to refine his initial result. He did not hesitate to drain his P-stones of accumulated spiritual energy in order to sustain his deep immersion state with the Illustrious One.

Ves mindset has warped. Just a step away from seeing humans as cattle.
How she would be able to guarantee this, Ves didn't know. He just lamented that a lot of potential test subjects were about to be discarded! If he could get his hands on them, he could perform some extra experiments!

Ves the salesman. They all want the ThunderCougarFalconBird to feel more dominant.
He could tell that Marshal Ariadne and Patriarch Reginald were already determined to get their hands on kinship networks. Ves had dazzled them by showing off Blinky and Goldie before pulling them into his narrative as he continued to give his sales pitch.

The henpecked Ves. You better behave or no bedroom privileges.
"THAT'S NO EXCUSE!"

Hello pot...I am kettle. Oh my you are black!
Though Ves remarkably agreed with Rion's stance, he did not like how the dwarven emperor put the two in the same boat!
