Unconventional Organism
Though Ves sympathized with Lucky, that did not stop him from exploiting his own cat.
After a bit more haranguing, the gem cat reluctantly got to work. Lucky phased through the disgusting flesh of the Titania and began his long search for phasewater.
Of course, if Lucky was fortunate enough to bump into a different valuable exotic substance, no one would mind if he took a bite or two. That was how Ves was able to persuade his cat to dowse for phasewater.
Once Ves sent out his cat, he did nothing except watch and supervise his men scouring through the body of the dead astral beast.
It was quite inspiring to see so many underlings working under his direction. From the mech pilots growing bored as they kept guard over the site to the biotech researchers making exciting new discoveries that would likely not make any impact on the subsequent work, each of them played a part in strengthening the clan and by extension Ves.
