Although Ves felt upset each time he thought about how much the Dominion of Man grew within the sphere of influence of the Polymath, there was nothing he could do about this travesty.
After all, if the Red Fleet did not dare to insist on the return of the Dominion of Man, how could Ves do any better?
The Polymath was not stupid enough to give away such a grand prize!
Ves turned his thoughts away from the Dominion of Man for this reason. Nothing productive could come from continuing to obsess over the state of the living dreadnought.
He instead focused on the affairs that he would definitely be able to affect, such as his ongoing mech design projects or his negotiations with different parties.
Perhaps spurred on by the amazing technology displayed by the Cybernetic Empire, the Red Association acted quite quickly on his attempts to cash his two remaining 'minor' favors.
Jovy transited to the Tortuous Scream so that he could discuss this matter with Ves in person.
"They agreed?"
