The Larkinsons that had chosen to undergo EdNet training already ended their lengthy and strenuous session more than a week ago.
Their conditions upon exiting virtual reality were awful. Their brain had been running on up to 4 times their normal thinking speed during every waking moment.
This was not normal.
The Larkinsons who volunteered for this training all went through extensive preparations in order to make sure they could endure the pressure as long as possible.
They all received first-class cranial implants and other augmentations in order to 'bring them up to standard' in a manner of speaking.
None of this treatment was cheap, but the Larkinson Clan had already made an agreement with the Red Association about it. Ves wanted to accept nothing less than the best for his clansmen.
The absence of so many mech designers and high-ranking personnel left a large void in the Larkinson Clan at the time.
