Material Importance

Ves faced numerous obstacles when it came to pushing the Final Drive Project.

They questioned its timing. The Design Department was too busy to divert time and resources to a side project of questionable usefulness.

They questioned its necessity. Why design a mech that was nothing more than a suicide vessel with a few added parts that were unique to Carmine mechs?

They questioned its value. If a population of a planet that had come under the threat of annihilation wanted to convert local resources into a means to strike back at the native aliens one last time, they could easily resort to more efficient alternatives such as plain surface-to-orbit rockets or fixed gun turrets.

The skeptics all raised good points, but their perspective was not as complete as that of Ves.
