I get why he's being so stubborn, but doesn't he realize there's no other option? He can't expect people who've spent their whole lives in 3rd-class states to be adept at working with advanced biotech usually reserved for affluent 2nd-class citizens....Of course that stuff would require the expertise of trained 2nd-class personnel. Between his sector only having two such states to start with and the fact one of them is hostile to him, Ves is shit out of luck!!
[After Ves inspected the coursework of the male Larkinson seeds, he finally managed to catch his girlfriend by herself. "Oh, Ves." She approached him and embraced him in a heartfelt hug. "You don't have to be so shy. You 'men' like to brag, do you not?"] Ves- It is one thing to brag about it… it’s totally different when it effects our work. Gloriana- How do you mean? <holding hands… uploading data files> Gloriana- HiHiHi… What are you complaining about? I think our design team adding a codpiece to each of their design submissions today is very complimentary. It demonstrates you have nothing to be shy about and they want the universe to know it. Ves<complaining> But Gloriana, how is it considered ‘men like to brag’ when the largest submission is not a fraction of the Adonis Colossus? Gloriana- HiHiHi… because women like to keep things in perspective so other women don’t get ideas. Ves-…?
Hm... with all the gene mods Ves has... can he even father a child without medical intervention? Of course - the doctor has ALL the samples she could ever need. Gloriana has the ability to just inform Ves she is pregnant one day. Whether or not they ever have that conversation about parenting styles first. Er... they probably won't HAVE that talk until there is a very real baby to talk about.
