The initial review and respecification session was a great success.
Once it got going, the mech designers of the Design Department all provided their input on what they thought about the performance of the derivative products of their current design projects.
The Bright Warrior Mark I Version B design came under intense scrutiny. While it was technically unfinished, it was functionally complete.
Originally, the design teams working on this project thought they would just spend a month or so to put the prototypes through their paces and optimize the design based on the results.
This was no longer the plan.
Ves was so dissatisfied with the performance of his mech forces that he wanted to make sure that they carried their weight in battle next time.
The differences in performance had become especially stark when the mech designers all watched footage of the Larkinson mechs fighting side-by-side with Glory Seeker and Crosser mechs.
