What Ves had just done was incredibly crude.
The conditions were incredibly scuffed and inadequate.
The Dominion of Man was not designed and built with the Carmine System in mind.
Yet Ves had managed to treat her as if she was a living starship solely due to the presence of the Brain Trust.
Without this ridiculous organic element that just happened to share a faint but passing resemblance to a Carmine System, he would have never concocted such a crazy scheme!
"The pact is formed."
Ves managed to complete the most important step. He worked hard to take advantage of the available conditions and combine all of the disparate elements into a crude Carmine warship.
Yet even as Ves could feel the enormously powerful storm clouds forming above the Dominion of Man, he quickly grew concerned about the state of the fragile bond.
