Ves could not adequately explain why he changed his mind and wanted to save up the Otalon Sprius for a major upgrade in the future.
His rather whimsical decision threw Alexa off and caused her to grow rather upset.
She had spent a considerable amount of hours studying the viability to upgrade the juggernaut into a machine that could help the Premier Fleet win its battles.
"Your work is not useless." Ves tried to console her. "You have given me enough data to understand the pros and cons to overhauling the Otalon Sprius early or late. Your work has made a convincing case to hold back the urge to fix it up right away and instead wait until we can redesign and modernize it in a more systematic fashion. Information is valuable in itself."
"If you say so." Alexa said, not bothering to hide her dismay.
"Are you okay?"
His direct disciple looked morose after her proposal got shot down. She must have been a lot more emotionally invested in her work than he expected.
