His design team still couldn't wrap their heads around the mech concept that Ves proposed.
A storm of troubled emotions flashed over their faces. Like every Brighter, Miles and the other Tovars looked down on religion.
To participate in the development of a mech that explicitly leaned on vague and unscientific concepts such as faith and intuition stood against anything they had ever designed before!
Ves saw that he needed to guide them a little bit further. If they remained too opposed against his ideas, they would pose a hindrance to his design project.
"You don't necessarily have to support my proposal." He said quietly. "However, you should at least remember who you are. You are mech designers. You are professionals. Regardless of what you think, it is always a good idea to learn how to keep an open mind and to work outside your comfort zone. If you are too narrow-minded, you aren't ready to tackle the challenges you face when you progress your design philosophy."
