Ves thoroughly enjoyed his talk with Hugo Fournier.
The batch human and living mech design specialist was the first person who lifted up the veil that obscured the details of the Cybernetic Empire.
Through Hugo, Ves gained an insider's look of what was actually happening in this new superpower.
Bridgehead One had completely become unmoored from general red humanity.
Its 53-year-long isolation had resulted in massive deviations in culture, laws, expectation and identity.
Although Hugo spoke well and came across as easy-going, Ves knew that the Cyber appointed to speak to him most definitely went through strict social training.
Many bigshots received this kind of training. They mastered it even, or else it would have been difficult for them to work their way up the hierarchy.
As a former space peasant and third-rater, Ves never really blended in with the more sophisticated crowd.
