Tristan Wesseling felt ambivalent towards the offer made by the patriarch of the Larkinson Clan.
As a Journeyman Mech Designer, he possessed his own pride.
He defected from the Friday Coalition because he became disillusioned by its division and dysfunction.
That did not mean he lost faith in all states in general.
He chose to become a citizen of the Colonial Federation of Davute by choice.
Although it was not the best colonial state in the Red Ocean, Tristan still agreed with the vision that the founders were trying to carve out in the new frontier.
He had done decently well since he started up his own mech company on Davute. Wesseling Design Services remained relatively modest until the Great Severing caused a lot of hyper materials to emerge.
