The completion of the Lionheart and the Blood Star Mark II represented a turning point for Ves and Gloriana's stay on New Constantinople VIII.
Gloriana no longer had any heavy obligations left that held her back from going on a trip to replace her cranial implant.
The only reason why she decided to linger for a bit longer was to assist with the partial upgrade of the Macharia Excelsia.
It was a genuine ace mech after all, and the fact that it hailed from the Hex Federation made Gloriana even more enthusiastic about the machine!
Unfortunately, her inadequate qualifications prevented her from providing too much input. She was not even allowed to apply her god body solution as that would require a complete overhaul and rebuild of the ace mech.
The most she could do was to get into closer contact with the Macharia Excelsia and study the properties of an ace rifleman mech first-hand.
