c6980: Superdimensional Crafting (2)

In any case, the Locos organ enabled Ves to work a lot of stuff out by hand and figure out the true state of all of the parts.

If he did not have such a convenient organ at his disposal, he would have been forced to request the Red Association to loan him its cutting-edge superdimensional production equipment.

Ves knew they existed because the mechers had given Ketis access to the newly developed superdimensional machines to complete the most recent upgrade of the First Sword.

As he and Vulcan continued to learn plenty of lessons on how to shape superdimensional alloy, they rapidly figured out a few knacks and made fewer mistakes.

This was important because they had to produce a masterwork.

Their weapon wouldn't work if it was just a regular piece of craftsmanship.

"Alexa."

"On it, sir."

He had called upon his direct disciple to assist him in his current work. He and Vulcan needed to maintain as much focus on their craftsmanship as possible.

Alexa diligently supplied Ves with materials and took away the finished parts until they were ready for assembly.

She also kept track of time, inspected the conditions of the tools and machines, kept away any nosy people and occasionally voiced her own opinions.

In exchange, she gained an excellent view of her mentor's personal approach towards craftsmanship. As an observant mech designer, she learned plenty of lessons just by watching him work.

"It is time to assemble all of the parts."

This was delicate work, but it was much easier than producing all of the small parts.

Slowly but surely, a metallic cat came into being.

This mechanical avatar possessed a strong superdimensional skeletal frame and internal structure that was able to resist virtually any infantry-grade attacks.

Ves loaded up with plenty of miniaturized components. Each of them comprised essential systems responsible for movement, detection and technology interfacing.

As Ves continued to put together his latest mechanical avatar, it became obvious that he had designed it with a combination of combat as well as infiltration in mind.

The gunmetal gray cat body made the mechanical avatar look a bit too conspicuous, but Ves eventually fixed that by wrapping it up in a shell made of transphasic hyper alloy that was impregnated with Solus Gas.

Although this meant that the outer-most layer was much less resistant against damage, its was nearly undetectable by most electronic detection methods!

That was not all. The exterior armor plating was actually part of an active stealth system.

The mechanical cat avatar could hide itself from sight!

When combined with the properties of Solus Gas, Ves believed that it had become practically impossible to detect its presence when it was trying its best to hide!

Although Ves was not arrogant enough to assume the native aliens had no chance of detecting it, his latest cat avatar should be able to remain safe so long as the enemy was not actively trying to search for infiltrators.

Ves paid special attention to the tail of the mechanical cat avatar.

He had integrated a small transphasic hyper luminar crystal weapon at the end of the tail.

It was a bit tricky to design and install the miniature parts and still keep the tail flexible enough.

Ves relished in the challenge and felt satisfied when he had managed to realize his idea for this miniature weapon.

He did not expect it to inflict too much damage.

While it was incredibly powerful for its size, it was still smaller than a handheld pistol. Ves had installed the most simple fire beam attack phase crystal, which meant that it could only launch transphasic fire hyper beams.

This was enough firepower to instantly kill most generic infantry targets, but it was quite underpowered when used against vehicles or larger hardware.

If Ves wanted to inflict greater damage, then he did not intend to rely on this pitiful small luminar crystal weapon, but instead on a much more primitive weapon!

"Bring me the fangs and claws."

Alexa carefully brought over a lockbox that contained a set of small-scale superdimensional things that were nonetheless far more dangerous than they appeared!

This was because Ves hade made them all out of weapon-grade superdimensional matter!
