"So what do you think of our plan, Ves? We have tried our best to improve the conditions for your giants, but this is the best that we are able to present to you on short notice."
The plan had guts, that was for certain.
Yet what peeved Ves was that the Rubarthans conveniently evaded most of the risks.
If the plan completely collapsed, then their losses amounted to nothing more than a couple of cheap and easily replaceable scout ships.
The Human Phase Lord Department could potentially lose a lot more!
Ascended Giants were expensive. Though Ves did not bother to figure out the exact numbers, he could easily visualize the huge amount of phasewater, biotech support and equipment needed to raise a human phase lord from scratch.
The loss of a single Ascended Giant was already painful for his department. The loss of a dozen of them would be a catastrophe!
