The big day had come. To many young mech designers in their twenties and thirties, the opportunity to work and learn from the most prominent Journeymen of the star cluster had arrived!
Pretty much every mech designer who resided in the hotel rented out by the Larkinson Clan knew what was at stake.
The men and women who had made it through the extensive selection process watched each other with varying amounts of friendliness and wariness.
Those who made it this far all possessed enough strength to earn each other's respect.
A lot of candidates had forged new friendships as they waited for the time of the final selection.
The concentration of more than a thousand young but promising mech designers of similar status meant that many of them had already made a lot of gains up to this point.
Even if they washed out and returned home, the networking they accomplished would definitely pay off in the future!
