Explosive Burden

Though Lady Romanda still looked reluctant to participate in a project revolving around experimental tech, Ves successfully 'persuaded' her to lower her ethical standards and agree to collaborate with him anyway.

That did not remove her personal objections over this risky endeavor, but the dark clouds that the Red Cabal cast over human civilization had done much to reinforce the urgency of the situation.

Lady Romanda felt as if she answered her calling.

Not only that, but her work may end up getting appreciated by millions or even billions of 'new' mech pilots over the ensuing years and decades!
