Blessed by the Surpreme
The big day had come. Ves and Gloriana were about to fabricate the first production model of their very first collaborative Hexer mech design.
This mech was very significant for multiple reasons.
It was the first mech that was aimed towards Hexers.
It was Ves' first true second-class product.
It was his first mech whose complexity and difficulty significantly exceeded that of his prior products!
All of these factors and more meant that Ves was under a lot of pressure to perform. When he woke up in the morning, his mood was good but not fantastic.
That was not a good sign. A normal demeanor was not conducive to entering an inspired mood!
Would serendipity be deprived from him once again?
Perhaps the only consolidation was the enthusiasm shown by Gloriana. She practically bounced on her feet as they traveled to the newly-constructed underground workshop.
