Aron sat before a stack of papers containing the final experiment data. Though he was in the universal simulation, he liked to switch up how he processed information, avoiding fatigue from relying on a single medium—especially since he spent what amounted to centuries conducting experiments in accelerated simulation time.
{From the tests, it works as expected,} Nova, his ever-present assistant, stated once she was sure he had finished reviewing the data.
"I know, but let’s do a real full-dress rehearsal," Aron replied, lifting his gaze from the papers.
He always insisted on a full-scale trial before declaring any research complete. Unlike the universal simulation, where things could be conjured at will, the real world required careful logistical considerations. Even a flawless design could become an operational nightmare if mobilization wasn’t accounted for.
