5188 Mobilize the Population

The closed sessions on companion spirits was already a fantastic success as far as Ves knew.

He constantly gauged the mood and receptiveness of his audience during his presentation. While the attendees did not form a representative sample of the larger population of mechers and red humans, not many of them exhibited any serious signs of rejection or concern.

There were always small groups of people who valued the sanctity of their mind and souls. The very notion of eating a strange fruit that caused them to spawn an entirely new personality in their own bodies sounded like the beginning of a horror drama to their ears.

Ves did not expect to win over everybody. He just wanted to obtain sufficient support from both the grassroots and the upper echelon to attain widespread adoption if not acceptance across society.
