The Stakes

The Titania that he had brought back to life in a sense was more powerful and potent than he thought. He couldn't wait to employ her in both the Minerva Project and future ranged mech designs.

Yet in order to do so, he needed her to be a willing collaborator, and that could not be accomplished within a day.

He already accounted for this. He deliberately created her a few months earlier because he expected that she would have to be coaxed into becoming a willing partner.

Ves did not intend to exploit her or to screw her over. He did not want to look behind his back or worry about rebellions all the time.

As long as she accepted her new state of existence and understood the benefits of becoming a design spirit, she would fall in line like the rest of her kind.
