Ever since Master Laila Rebecca Devos informed Ves that the Minerva Mark II had the potential to become an anchor mech, he had already begun to engage in one of his bad habits.
He wanted to innovate on top of what was already in the mech design!
This was a rather reckless and impulsive decision. Skilled mech designers regularly followed their feelings and made minor deviations from their original design. This was rather normal as local circumstances might demand adjustments to hopefully produce a better result.
Factors such as context, production machines, materials and comprehension could all present alternatives that might produce a better or more suitable outcome than what the mech design proscribed.
Yet Ves intended to go much further.
He knew that Gloriana would hate him for this, but he was determined to give it a try!
