Ves was creating quite a distraction for the people who remained in the private workshop.
He completely disregarded the attention of others. He became completely fixated on his own experimentation.
Blinky continued to release life energy from his Blinkyverse.
As life energy was Ves and the companion spirit's primary attribute, the Blinkyverse actually contained an enormous reservoir of this energy. He had no concerns that he would run out of it anytime soon.
Now that Blinky was becoming more active, he was doing more than infusing life into the death echo formed by Helena.
A lot of life energy spilled over and spread across the workshop. The other mech designers became slightly invigorated, while the parts they created so far absorbed a bit of life energy as well.
Of course, that did not mean that all of the tools, parts and materials would come to life all of a sudden.
