After embarking on several metaphysical experiments that led to a lot of new discoveries, Ves found comfort in returning to familiar ground.
While the new techniques he developed possessed a strong connection to his design philosophy, Ves sometimes felt he was engaging in magic rather than mech design. It felt good for him to resume his identity as an engineer rather than wizard.
"I can only handle so much weird stuff at a time."
Ves was afraid of pushing the envelope even further. So far, most of his theories panned out, but it could all come down like a house of cards if he pushed against the limits of what was possible. He still wanted to confirm whether the changes he made would actually improve the X-Factor of his upcoming design.
"More is not always better. My experiment can still backfire on me if I handle it improperly."
