While all of the observing mech designers reacted with shock, concern, dismay or resignation towards Ves' antics, the man responsible for causing this distress was having the time of his life!
He had purposefully engineered this exceptional situation for multiple reasons. This included ones that he could not properly explain!
He just knew that if he arranged stuff in this specific fashion, he would gain a small but important boost to his productivity.
So far, the outcome matched his expectations!
His recently acquired affinity towards darkness added a very helpful dimension to his work process.
By acting according to the concepts represented by darkness, Ves experienced a range of improvements.
He became more excited. His passion burned hotter. He became more interested due to the novelty of these unprecedented circumstances.
