Exlor
Hmmm... maybe we get a repeat of the Elemental Lord with Ves experimenting on the Alpha Lifeguard. Ves was totally bit manipulated by the Red MTA into buying a masterwork 1st class mech
Buying that thing was the biggest waste of money this novel has ever had. Ves can't even do anything with it right now!! He'd have to hire an outsider just to use it! Considering its purpose, his paranoia would never allow that. And he's a decade away from being able to upgrade it like he wants! As for the exclusive tech it comes with, the mechers are eager to collaborate with him to bolster their own forces. It's a simple matter of demanding that they also produce a variant for his Clan's use!
