Venerable Joshua Larkinson enjoyed a long period of calm after the expeditionary fleet departed from the Grand Loxic Republic.
With no crisis looming over the heads of the Larkinsons, Venerable Joshua and many other Larkinsons felt free to devote their time on more personal and less acute matters.
It was too bad that Joshua wasn't able to spend much time with Ketis as of late. Her long shifts at the design lab left her with little time to keep him company. She promised to open up her schedule once she was done with working on the expert mech designs, but that was many months away.
Last he heard, the Design Department was making very brisk progress on the Disruptor Project, but that came at the expense of slowing down the work on the other expert mech designs.
