3201 New Vanguard

Ves tried to follow his own advice and did his best not to look down on the Vanguard Project.

The expert spearman mech was completely fine from an objective standpoint. There weren't any signs of defects or manufacturing flaws. Even though the expert mech still had to be tested to make sure everything worked properly, Ves didn't think it would produce any surprises.

"It's just a good expert mech."

Gloriana had a different outlook. She looked a bit pained. Even though she should know quite well that the odds of success were small, she had become too confident in her abilities. Her expectations were completely unrealistic that she set herself up for a painful correction.

Ves reached her side and held her by the shoulder before pulling her into a hug. "It's okay, honey. The Vanguard Project might not have turned out to be as good as you wish, but it is still a mech that meets the demands of the clan. We have not failed in that regard."
