Unsung Hero

Mr. Hempkamp cleverly dangled the possibility of allowing mech pilots to enter a state of Unity of Man and Machine to Ves.

However, this remained a distant theoretical possibility for now. The amount of work, effort and brilliance required to enable any mech pilot to attain this mythical state with a single press of the button was enormous!

No matter how brilliant Hempkamp had proven to be, there was no way he could develop a successful implementation of this tech within a single decade or generation!

Though Ves was not fooled by Hempkamp's exaggerated boasts, there was no denying that the newly-recruited Journeyman possessed real substance!

His earlier contributions to every design project had already yielded slightly better results. His ability to match the right neural interfaces to the right mech designs made every Larkinson mech slightly more effective in battle than before.
