The Mech Touch novel Chapter 7241

Chapter 7241: Transhumanist Miracle

At this point, Ves no longer cared too much about letting the mechers crawl all over his new D-mech.

While he still refused to provide any answers related to Demoncasting, the experts of the Red Association were not stupid. They could fill in a lot of the blanks without requiring any verbal explanations.

Ves could only sigh and accept this consequence as the price of a partially botched breakthrough event.

He continued to ponder about what exactly went wrong.

This anomalous outcome shouldn’t have happened. Saint Rosa Orfan should have broken through directly, broken through late or died without ever fulfilling her dream.

From what Ves could gather from all of the clues, Saint Rosa triggered her second apotheosis awfully late.

In fact, the most likely theory that could explain why she botched her breakthrough was that she had triggered it when she was on the verge of losing herself forever.

She had lost much of herself to the Prophet’s Bane. The two had become so entangled with each other that it became difficult to treat them as separate entities.

If that was the case, then much of the anomalies that occurred during the abnormal breakthrough event could be explained.

Ves awaited the feedback from the members of the Transhumanist Faction.

Out of all of the factions of the RA, the Transhumanists should be the most accepting of what has happened.

Their expertise also happened to be highly relevant to the current case.

After several hours of examinations and consulting with research groups over highly encrypted communication channels, Professor Vector Loban finally returned to Ves and Gloriana in order to disclose their preliminary findings.

Despite their exhaustion and desire to recharge their mental faculties, the Miracle Couple could not bring themselves to call it a day when they had produced an unprecedented accident.

They needed answers. Ves and Gloriana needed to know that despite what had occurred, they had not condemned the new ace pilot to a life of suffering, mutilation and isolation.

Seeing the optimistic expression on Vector’s face already provided a lot of reassurance.

The Transhumanist liaison wouldn’t smile if the worst case scenario had occurred.

“First of all, congratulations for earning your latest masterwork certificates.” Vector announced to the pair. “The issuance of the certificates will be much delayed this time. Our faction will try to rush it as quickly as possible, but the sheer amount of anomalies that we have ascertained during our initial examination will make that difficult. I do not expect that these objections will hold out for long given our strong support and the fact that you are a tier 2 galactic citizen. Despite everything that happened, the Riot Mark III is still a masterwork mech. What others consider imperfections, we prefer to view it as a noble experiment to promote the evolution of the human race. We cannot condemn a sincere attempt to break the status quo.”

His words fit the goals and ideology of the Transhumanist Faction. Ves grew a little more reassured when he heard that the Transhumanists were willing to expend political capital in order to back him up and sweep any potential problems under the rug.

“Will there be any follow-up investigations?” Gloriana cautiously asked.

“That cannot be avoided.” Vector admitted. “The Riot Mark III is an unprecedented fusion of man and machine, mech design and cultivation science, superdimensionality and spirituality. Your machine intersects so many advanced technologies and theories together that it is a crime against humanity to leave it unstudied. We have already applied to assign a permanent multi-disciplinary research team to monitor its condition and track its changes over time. We will also include medical professionals who are primarily tasked with keeping your new saint’s mental and physical state as healthy as possible.”

That was the price for receiving the backing of the Transhumanist Faction. Ves did not even bother to argue this arrangement. He knew that he and his clan simply did not possess the tech or expertise to take proper care of Saint Orfan.

His wife did not have a problem with this deal either. She was grateful that the mechers finally stepped in and accepted the responsibility of taking care of the ace pilot.

At this point, Gloriana cared little about the Riot. Ves had twisted it so much that her sense of ownership in the expert mech had plunged. The D-mech carried so much of his fingerprints that they had almost entirely overlapped her own touch.

“About Saint Orfan…”

“Her condition is complex, but relatively stable as far as we can ascertain.” Vector responded to Gloriana. “We do not expect that her life is in danger in the short term. We are not so certain whether that will remain the case in the medium and long term. We have already determined that we cannot separate her body from the piloting chair that she has partially fused with. Doing so will lead to grave consequences for both the physical and metaphysical health of the pilot.”

Vector activated a projection that showed a highly detailed wireframe model of the cockpit.

He highlighted the piloting chair that still contained Rosa Orfan’s body.

The results of the latest deep scans provided an inside look of what was happening beneath the exterior.
