Confirming A Theory

The circumstances of this fabrication run was similar to the previous attempt.

It involved the same mech designers who had already made substantial gains compared to before.

In fact, the four Journeymen were even stronger than when they completed the expert mech upgrade of the Shield of Samar! Their mech affinities were higher and they internalized numerous useful insights after turning their latest expert mech into a masterwork.

This time, the ambitious Larkinson mech designers aimed to repeat their previous critical success!

This was a tough task as their accumulation was not as great as before. Ves vaguely felt his chance of making another masterwork was much less than before.

Despite investing a lot of emotional commitment to the Chimera Project, despite taking numerous risks with its design and despite implementing many innovations, the deck was stacked against him this time.
