Good priorities there. If you can't replicate the entire workshop of tools - at least make sure you complete the hammer selection!
Over half of them consisted of hammers of different sizes and weights. Dunnerholm would almost always have the right tool for the right hammering job with this new and wonderful collection.

I really, really hope Ves's financial councilor remembered to put Gloriana on a budget. Or at least limit her card to the "personal account".
"Come, children." Gloriana called as she turned towards the exit. "Let us leave your absent father to his devices. We have a shopping spree to complete."

Is this the excuse Ves needs to make a PROPER mech fabrication totem for Vulcan? Perhaps a whole factory line full of them for his flagship? Might really help churn out the Masterworks if all his technicians have direct access to Vulcan fabrication machines. Would also be an amazing new company and source of profits! How much would people pay to have fabricators that increase your chance of Masterworks?

Ves has used his fist before - or even an indirect link through Binky.

But Ves can also do the "Vulcan bonk" with his fist!

That's the problem - HE did it. Not a replicatable process for anyone else.

Calm Aura time now? It might counter the illusion.

The weavers aren't out of place here either - you can use crochet techniques with wire! Or make chainmail. Or metal thread embroidery.
Samandra caught up to him and smiled at the statues and other knick-knacks. "As we have said, we are constantly engaged in trial and error. Our craftsmen have experimented with a wide variety of materials, but they found that metals are more respective to Vulcan. We subsequently tried out many different mundane metals and metallic exotics. One day, one of our blacksmiths suggested that we employ the exact same type of alloys that are used in the mechs that you have designed in the past. We requested a batch of materials from the Cat Nest and started to work on them, and that has eventually led to this result."

I think the Artists might be more successful if Ves gives them some totems with sample glows of Ves and Blinky. Let them experience the nuance needed to properly channel the energy. Also... if they have some base "spiritual metal" to work on. Perhaps scrap from dead living mechs could be repurposed as totems? Might have to be Gold Label quality mechs at a minimum. And perhaps from specific mech models for each totem.

Might be VERY useful for Ves to release his full-power glow to help! (Slowly, so not to break his concentration)

That breakthrough on totems might be what Ves needs for Master! Got to be more refined to get from a proper copy of an existing totem to allowing other humans to create UNIQUE totems and variations on Ves's inventions! Now that Senior is just around the corner... time to start speculating on Master!

Possibly the line "I'm just a MASTER mech designer!" I mean... why exactly are all the MTA officials treating Ves like he is an "almost Master" instead of "almost Senior"? Is Senior even a real level between Journeyman and Master? Or is it more like "Senior Apprentice"? Because I remember a few times early on when Ves interacted with "Senior Apprentices" before he jumped straight to psudo-Journeyman.

Well now... is Ves really about to soften his stance and settle down on a planet? Or is he about to FINALLY give up on the remaining shares of LMC and shed his whole "bring his family with him to 1st Class" idea? Honestly, I think Calabast and Sheriden are pushing him closer and closer to Option 2 at this point! Springing the whole "you will give public support and officially join this new country" on Ves was NOT a diplomatic move at all! I honestly expected way more tact from professional diplomats! It also looks like "Option 3" - keep setting up more branches in more areas will be the best compromise. Perhaps a 3rd class branche with the old family as a core?

Don't worry - Gloriana will claim a minimum of 55% credit if this becomes a Masterwork!
She let out a sigh in exasperation. "You know what? Go do what you want. I will minimize my involvement as much as possible so you have all of the room you need to follow your whims. This way, the success and failure of the Ghost Project will largely depend on you and you alone. You cannot blame anyone but yourself if Venerable Zimro Belson receives a bloated monstrosity at the end of this project."

Benedict is helping on ALL the Expert mechs - so power is slightly less of an issue then usual. And the value of a "mere Journeyman" making quasi-1st class Expert mech a Masterwork is high! High enough to continue trading favors in the future!
