"I will take your… advice… under consideration." Ves eventually said when he heard enough. "Can I share this with Gloriana?"
"You may. The two of you maintain enough parity that she deserves to learn about anchor mechs in advance. I am certain that this disclosure will delight her. It is a great honor to be able to contribute an anchor mech to the kingdom. It is one of the most important criteria that Master Mech Designers compare themselves to. Those that are able to develop more anchor mechs enjoy much higher recognition and status. You will often find them leading entire R&D institutions and important departments."
"So this is like a secret game between Masters like you." Ves voiced his thoughts. "The ones who earn the highest score get to rank higher than the ones who don't manage to do as well. This makes sense as any work that is qualified to become an anchor mech is unquestionably the best among millions of mech designs of the same category at that point in time."
