Journeymen were the heart of the Larkinson Clan's renowned Design Department.
In the absence of Seniors and Masters, Journeymen wielded great authority within this highly productive department.
Their titles already showed how much leeway they obtained. Every Journeyman in the Design Department automatically received the title and position of lead designer.
Though each of them needed to undergo a small assessment period, as long as they proved their abilities, Ves was more than willing to let them loose and decide on their own projects and work assignments.
This was a level of freedom and autonomy that mech design organizations rarely granted to Journeymen!
In institutions where Masters and Seniors were in charge, Journeymen were simply higher-level assistants who could be entrusted with more complicated design tasks.
