The mood in the grand stateroom lifted quite a bit after Master Barnard Solas Voiken essentially forgave the two defectors of the family.
The Voiken Ancestor would have been in the right if he chose to pursue the matter further.
It was undeniable that the Voiken Family invested a lot in their upbringing. From expensive gene treatments to rare and desirable cranial implants, the family did not skimp in its attempt to turn Sara and Dulo Voiken into its future mainstays.
There were many descendents among the Voikens that had subsequently achieved success after enjoying so many benefits.
While there were plenty of mech designers who had stalled or failed to reach their potential, there were enough success stories to earn back all of the investments.
Although the continued absence of a second Master Mech Designer was a blemish to the Voiken Family, everyone believed it was only a matter of time before one of the many Seniors made the critical jump.
