Crystal Potential

The tests that Ves performed aboard the Vivacious Wal yielded plenty of useful results.

Not only did Ves gather a heap of new data on how a shuttle-sized crystal cannon performed, he also tested the defensive properties of the entertainment ship's shield generators in the process.

Due to obvious reasons, the short-ranged shield generators were mostly optimized to resist physical damage.

After all, no one wanted a mech to crash right out of the right and slam against the stands where thousands of spectators were seated to enjoy the action up close. A mech arena would quickly go out of business if even one accident occured, and if such a catastrophe took place here, Raella's entire venture might collapse overnight!

This was why she reacted with considerable dismay when she saw that the shield generators were already straining to contain the firepower of a single discharge of the crystal cannon.
