Ves entered Hempkamp's private research lab with both anticipation and trepidation in his mind.
Despite keeping a fairly close eye on Hempkamp's ongoing research projects, Ves lacked the expertise to fully understand the research that took place in this chamber.
While it looked as if Cormaunt Hempkamp stayed within the lines that Ves had set, who knew whether this was actually the case.
Another concern Ves had of Hempkamp was whether his first completed research project was safe enough to be utilized in any new and ongoing design projects.
If Ves was forced to shoot down Hempkamp's work despite the man's admirable restraint, who knew what he would do afterwards.
