How many handbags is several centuries?
It might take a century if not several centuries before she was able to complete the fundamental framework for Glorianatech!

Don't encourage the name...
"What does 'Glorianatech' actually mean to you?" Ves inquired even as Clixie walked over and jumped on her lap. He automatically began to pet the purring cat. "I know what archetech can do more or less, but how does that differ from your own adaptation?"

The only sketchy part about her new realization and goal was that she was primarily thinking about satisfying her ego.
Sci-fi · Exlor
"If my foresight is accurate, then the combination between these two bases will produce fantastic synergies while also maintaining full compatibility with existing human technologies! The differences will be so great that my end result deserves a name of its own! I call it Glorianatech!"

Sanity intact?
"Since you managed to get out of it with your mind and sanity intact, I take it that you found a way to resolve the problem."

You're consulting with space turtles while he's sticking it the Red Big Two, calling down heavenly retribution, creating True Gods and an unprecedented God ship, and earning Red Fleet tokens. Too little too late!
She went through with it anyway because she was afraid of getting left behind by her husband!

Besides, it did not look as if Gloriana mistreated Hekkel. She had trained her alien captive so well that the arche had learned to enjoy her attention!

Good boy...
His wife smirked at him. "Hekkel here is a good boy for an arche. There is no need to employ Alexandria on a constant basis in order to keep my new Glorious Servant in line. He may be an alien, but he is not that different from humans once you become more familiar with arche culture and society. I did not solely rely on Alexandria's persuasion to dominate Hekkel all of the time. By combining my companion spirit's efforts with an intensive training program, it has taken remarkably little time to fully indoctrinate my new alien help. I no longer need to employ further reinforcement sessions to keep him in control."

"Please do not mind his words, Ves. The arche are highly hierarchical by nature. It is difficult to instill the concept of a servant into his alien mind."

No one was in this situation to scheme like this yet...
Ves immediately understood what the other man was getting at. "Wait a minute… this is an obvious loophole. Surely the fleeters won't be stupid enough to allow for this shenanigan to happen…"
Sci-fi · Exlor
"This… so the rumors are true. You engineered the creation of the first god ship." The 108 year old leader of the E-66 Experimental Yard spoke. "If the Dominion of Man has truly become powerful enough to rival a god mech as people are claiming, then the Red Fleet should have given you a better reward! The fleeters are too stingy and prejudiced against mech designers! You deserve a Battleship Token!"
Sci-fi · Exlor
They just don't want to poke the hornet's nest and risk you doing something else crazy...
Ves was not bothered by the lack of action. People left him alone during the return trip to the New Constantinople System. Nobody asked for his input on future plans or compelled him to account for his previous actions.

Other races regarded darkness as the favored element of evil and a force of destruction.

Lucky squirmed and shook in the air as if he had eaten a mouthful of spicy peppers!

Andraste walked over to her father and hugged his side. "I think your idea is better, papa. I love grandma, but her ideas are too old-fashioned."
