I like how the pov isn’t focused on ves but the other larkinsons dealing with the mess and i hope no too big an arc for this part unless ves grows further in power one way or another
Ark: I need a new expert mech with phase water soon.
Readers: Maybe you shouldn't have agreed to defend Davute without getting the machine from Ves first?
Oh! Let's upgrade his yearn for the future mech.
Tho I know that states are inherently bad and sometimes good but this is on another level. using human lives as pawns whole playing chess!
i hope this scheme as well as the arriving war will finally slap the other Larkinsons especially melinda and ark to realize that they are better off giving their loyalty to Ves than to any state
