Belated Discovery

If Ves had a choice, he would have preferred to reduce his dependence on the System.

He had done a pretty good job so far. He had managed to complete several successful mech designs and overcome numerous major issues without needing to enter the System space.

This not only proved that he was not only doing a good job at developing his own capabilities, but also ensured that he did not increase his enormous debt of karma towards the heavenly authority of the Milky Way Galaxy too quickly.

Alas, Ves felt that the current situation had become too dire for him to persist in his abstinence.

The rewards for success were too great and the price of failure was too painful for him to ignore the help that the Mech Designer System could provide.

Once he entered the System space, he steeled himself before ascending the stairs to the top of the mountain.
