Jannzi’s reaction to Goldie getting involved illustrate Ves concern about reaction to a Ministry of Mechs run by mechs. Joshua should be able to understand and explains what happened to the living mechs.
If she talks to Ves, he would easily agree with her paranoias because he is also very paranoid. Just point It out and he would look up, do a backup plan for sure. I already can see It, dozens of years in the future, when Ves no longer lead, Goldie will became the enemy.
