utyi5mthCommentedBack in my early Mech Touch days foreshadowing was less obvious.
Ves simply smiled in response. "I am not stupid enough to make that happen. Rest assured that I have no intentions of arming the native aliens with companion spirits."- utyi5mthCommented
Usually the grandpa is supposed to be the one saying or thinking something outrageous, that’s Ves for you!
Ves pointedly ignored the scandalized look on his grandfather's face. - utyi6mthCommented
Just realized that back in the Megalodon CFA ship that crashed the AI guessed Ves ownership of the Scroll with blood. Nice of Exlor to keep consistency with that!
In any case, Ves actually made a lot of interesting observations when he examined the blood of outliers. - utyi7mthCommented
Took him long enough to go Holmes on her.
Hypothesis. High likelihood that 'Alexa Striker' was related to his only Mastery experience with a Terran mech pilot. Her reaction to the mention of his name strengthened this possibility. - utyi7mthCommented
Time for you to fulfill Calabast’s dream of becoming the empress!
Ves started to feel a lot more stares directed towards him again. He frowned as he could feel the elevated amount of attention from so many powerful figures. - utyi7mthCommented
When you try so hard to downplay yourself in front of everyone, only for the others to push you on the center stage!
No, this was a catastrophe! - utyi9mthCommented
Look fellas a wild descendant of an ace, soon-to-be god, pilot whose linked to Ves!
"I am Alexa Striker. I am an Apprentice Mech Designer who once studied and graduated on Old Earth itself. One of the reasons why I have applied to become your teaching assistant is because I have developed interest in your design philosophy. Living mechs. I have never seen or heard anything like it in my life. Would you like to introduce this subject to me, professor?" - utyi10mthCommented
Our boy lost his last shred of decency ages ago. What did you expect?
"These are indeed accomplishments that you can be proud of, Ves, but they carry the opposite meaning when you present them to a member of the state that has suffered greatly from your work. What you are doing is the equivalent of a serial killer visiting the family of one of his victims in order to beg for a compliment. How dare you, Ves?" - utyi1yrCommented
I DO NOT DEATH FEAR!!!!
The death of fear was one of the most important prerequisites to doing well in tournaments! - utyi1yrCommented
War crimes i.e. Ves’ bucket list. They should be a good fit.
Calabast nodded in confirmation. "That is exactly what happened on a number of these missions. Their inherent risk means that the Adelaide Mercenary Company could not avoid setbacks and losses. There were situations where the Adelaides lost their cool and committed actions that they regretted in hindsights. Some are so egregious that they can even be classified as war crimes!" - utyi1yrCommented
Every time my boy sees someone committing a crime or something morally reprehensible his first thoughts are always : “Wait! I could also be doing that! Wait! Why am I not already doing it? Wait! How can I push further?”
"Hey, that's a good tactic. I should note that down." Ves whispered to himself. - utyi1yrCommented
Ves The Great Denier!
Ves proudly nodded. "Yup. Hey, if it works, it works. Look, I admit that I may not have behaved as neatly as I could have, but I was practically working under duress! The System practically pushed me into obtaining the Timpala Steel at all cost. If anyone or anything deserves to bear the ultimate fault, it is the Mech Designer System! It is the System that pushed me into this life. It is the System that pulled me into Rion Aaden's mind when I just wanted to enjoy a calm and relaxing Mastery experience. It is the System that wordlessly blackmailed me into fetching the TImpala Steel that it had initially found. In the end, it was the System who benefited the most from this disaster!" - utyi1yrCommented
It is not my fault! I didn’t stoke the fire, I merely placed it next to an oil pipeline rigged with explosives wired to a console with a big red button spelling : ”DO NOT PUSH*” *unless you want to see some epic fireworks.
Ves vigorously denied the accusations. "What? No! It's not my fault these dwarves decided to go to war over each other! I just distributed a lot of statues, that was all. What the Vulcanites do with them is their business. Those fanatics decided to go to war against their perceived enemies on their own accord. I never compelled them to ruin their own state." - utyi1yrCommented
And the Dummy Award for “Stupidest decision made by a newbie biotech expert” goes to…. ”Ves Larkinson!” “It’s incredible Ted we have never seen a mech designer win so many Dummy Awards for his first time.” “You’re right Tammy. Ves Larkinson is sure to be a new household in this exclusive competition. Some even speculate that he might end up winning a Darwin Award.”
He forgot about accounting for his abnormal physique's increased resistance against sedatives! - utyi1yrCommented
That’s what she said!
"Stop it, please! I can't take it any longer!" - utyi1yrCommented
Exlor stop using my propositions! It’s already one thing that she’s his child/granddaughter/little sister/big sister you can’t also make her his wife/sister in-law. You gotta limit yourself to 3-4 different kinds of different relationships for each pair of characters, tops.
"So what?" His sister challenged him as she twirled a lock of her hair. "Genes and such might be a concern to flesh-and-blood humans such as you, but they are completely inconsequential to someone who doesn't have them in the first place. Vulcan sounds like a pretty nice guy. He's not a strong or proven warrior god, but he can compensate for that by making a lot of presents for me! He is just the perfect breadwinner. My family only really needs a single fighter anyway." - utyi1yrCommented
To be fair their situations is less f-ed up than Ves’ genealogical tree!
It would have been even better if other humans began to accept and embrace their expression of love! - utyi1yrCommented
When the crack wholesaler says he has a lab in the back to cook you up a fresh batch just for you!
"Your Third Fleet is about to launch an attack against a powerful alien asteroid base, right? I think it should be easy to convince whoever is in charge of this to draw out additional money to bolster the strength of your forces even further. It won't cost much but it will definitely save the lives of your mercenary troops." - utyi1yrCommented
Stockholm’s syndrome, Still a virgin near 30y.o., Got bullied into the relationship by an alpha stalker predator. Take your pick.
Ketis chuckled after she heard this. "Of course you would say that. Could you explain to me again why you decided to marry Gloriana?" - utyi1yrCommented
Ves: “In here only I am allowed to be shady!”
"I still expect you to contribute to some of our ongoing design projects, but I will make sure your workload isn't too heavy." Ves said. "What I expect in return is that you do all of your experiments in a proper fashion in one of the proper research labs that we provide. Do not scurry away to a shady lab or any other dubious venue in order to perform experiments that are way too problematic. Once you are in our clan, you will be a Larkinson. That means that you will partially represent us all to the outside community. I don't want you to do anything dishonorable that will reflect badly on the rest of our clan, do you understand?"
