As the Bluejay Fleet continued to journey back to New Constantinople VIII, Ves busied himself with checking up on his projects and various other developments.
For example, Ves received an update on the matter of Vulcanites sending their Novice Mech Designers to him in order to benefit from his teachings.
"The Eternal Vulcan Empire is based further away, so it will take time for the Novices to arrive in the New Constantinople System." Gavin reported to Ves. "The Vulcanites expect a lot from you. They hope that at least two or three of the young dwarven mech designers will be able to design living mechs by the end of their stay. As long as you can satisfy this demand, we will gain ownership of a serviceable first-class fleet carrier. The Vulcanites are even willing to refit the ship to fit our needs."
