Though Ves and Gloriana had fallen into their low periods for a time, that did not make them useless.
The biggest downside to their current states was that they weren't able to design mechs with their usual passion.
That was not a serious problem.
They just had to devote their attention to something else that did not require as much creativity and imagination.
Aside from studying, tutoring their assistants and managing their subordinates, the newlyweds also laid the groundwork of their second round of projects.
They had already made the first decision when they met aboard the Stellar Chaser.
"We should devote all of our time to designing second-class mechs for this round of projects." Ves declared to his wife. "We are way too slow in fulfilling our obligations to the Hegemony and meeting the demand for second-class mechs to our own clan. We need to deliver at least diverse mechs for each target audience within half a year to alleviate the pressure."
