The Mech Touch

Chapter 6822 Power Projection

As Ves continued to show off the Minerva Mark II design to the Saint Commander, he also began to ask more philosophical questions.

"Now that you have become an ace commander, you have come much closer to becoming a god pilot. You have also exercised your power many times since your breakthrough. Granted, you are still shackled by the Minerva Mark I, but you should at least have a much better idea of what you are striving towards."

"What is it you want to ask?" Casella Ingvar asked with a frown.

"Have you put more thought on how you wish to exercise your power on the battlefield?" Ves asked. "Last we talked, we had an interesting discussion about how the design of your ace command mech will shape the development of your domain and power expression. When you receive the Minerva Mark II, what will you focus on the most?"

That was a difficult question to answer. There were many good things about the Minerva Mark II design. Casella was certainly impressed by what the Design Department had been working on. She truly believed that i was worth it to come early and provide her input so that her upgraded machine better reflected her preferences. "I think that the Victrix adds a large amount of possibilities." She says. "Range is one of the greatest limitations of my Command Field. If I can extend it beyond my normal radius, then I have a large room for maneuver. From attacking two defensive strongholds at once to Enfeoffing a squad of stealth mechs that have painstakingly sneaked behind enemy formations, I can employ many more strategems than before." As the main individual responsible for designing the Victrix, Ves smiled with pride. "I have tried my best to make sure it delivers on its promise. The Victrix shall be an interesting living fey that will grow with you and your battle partner over time. I am not too sure how it will improve, but I think that it is possible to extend its maximum operating range over time."

Casella's eyes grew sharper as she thought of another possibility.

"The ability to use the Victrix to extend my Command Field to another location in the same star system is already powerful enough. However, what I really want to know is... will it be possible to extend its range to the point where I can deploy it in a

neighboring star system?"

"That... is a big question."

"Please think about it seriously"

Ves fell silent as he seriously considered this idea.
