A Different Order
When Gloriana ordered Vincent to put the New Man Project through its paces, she wasn't the only mech designer who was interested in his performance.
Ves closely studied how well the expert candidate handled his new machine. He initially thought that he would just be here to admire and applaud his wife for fabricating a fine custom mech, but he was pleasantly surprised by how well her interpretation of living mechs was faring.
"She's doing something different."
It was similar to when he studied Ketis' work. His former student had also learned a thing or two about designing living mechs, but she did not blindly follow Ves' path. The swordmaster put her own spin on the approach and sought to make living blades that sang.
Gloriana on the other hand used the fact that her mechs were slightly alive to make them consciously into an accurate image of their intended users.
