Unlike Ketis and Juliet, Ves was already familiar with the benefits of completing a masterwork mech.
Though he did not expect that they would succeed naturally without requiring him to cheat, he fully embraced the moment and opened up his entire mind and spirit to earn his just rewards.
"It's been too long since I last completed a successful masterwork." He whispered.
Unlike the previous time where he and his wife created the Little Angel, the finished and realized version of the Sentry Project was an authentic masterwork mech.
It did not come 'close' to the masterwork threshold. It firmly passed through this barrier and achieved greatness on its own merits!
The spiritual satisfaction that Ves was able to gain from that was considerably greater than if he created an 'artificial' masterwork by using one of Lucky's gems to push it over the threshold.
