5028 Increased Alien Incursions

As Ves continued to harvest a lot of interesting data and insights from the operation of the Blood Star, he formed a lot of important conclusions.

For example, he confirmed that his grandfather's ability to control the Blood Star was not quite up to standard.

"I am still learning how to do this myself." Benjamin told him as he wore his piloting suit. He had just completed another testing session. "The Blood Pact is much different from the man-machine connection that mech pilots are familiar with. You need to take a different approach to controlling a machine. I can transfer many of my old piloting skills to this new interfacing method, but I have to learn a lot of new skills from scratch as well. I can do this faster because I have regained my old strength as an expert pilot, but I believe it will be much harder for normal pilots to build up the same proficiencies."
