5763 Defending Living Mechs

The revelation of complete neural interfaces and true mechs was enough for Planetary Governor Rod Mergan-Castelaus to call for another recess.

Ves could dearly use one because he had lost his mental balance after Master Alice Cantor directly challenged his work with her biting arguments.

As soon as Ves and his entourage returned to a private room, they faced each other with grim expressions.

"What Master Cantor has done is much more damaging than we anticipated." Jovy stated the obvious. "Her arguments have successfully swung much of public opinion in her favor. Those who have personal experience with living mechs are still in your camp, but the masses who are less informed about this matter are strongly swayed by the authoritative words of a RA Master Mech Designer. People are much more inclined to take her words as fact, and that is problematic to you because you are younger and not a proper member of the Association."
