Slowly but surely, a clear line of division emerged within Ves' enterprise.
The 'old guard' consisting of the original Brighters and Larkinsons mostly concerned themselves with the mechs.
The newcomers in the form of Ylvainans disproportionately consisted of spacers. They were crawling all over his ships!
Did Ves like his division? No. Was Ves forced to accept it? Yes.
It was not as if complete segregation had occurred. There were still enough Brighters in the fleet to add some diversity to the crews.
Ves had no interest in managing this situation any further. He passed on his instructions to the fleet coordinator and other people and left them to address his concerns.
In the meantime, he completed his analysis of the test results. The new Deliverer performed admirably with the new neural interface. Though the test only showed the positive sides of the high-capacity model, it was enough to show that there was definitely a reason for its existence!
