"The Riot Mark III Project is progressing slower than we prefer. We apologize for that, Rosa. New technological possibilities have presented us with unforeseen complications."
Gloriana's design lab possessed a different ambiance.
Ves liked to make his own design lab feel like home. It was the place where he spent most of his time. As an important source of productivity, he liked to decorate it with pictures of his family and snapshots of his living mechs in their most glorious moments on the battlefield.
He also decorated his desks and work tables with mech figurines that he casually made when he needed to think or yearned for a distraction. Many of them turned out to be masterworks due to his craftsmanship and the love he placed in their construction.
He also was not that strict when it came to cleaning up after his messes. He liked to conduct multiple small research projects at once and often let his machines run concurrently.
