It's a win for everyone — Maria gets 'royalties', Raythean and Rhodes Island renews their partnership and the Cautus' in Rim Biliton and all over Terra gets proper protection for their work hazards.

And, of course, Hopper gets some new armor for his operations.

Soon, Maria and her team came to a decisive conclusion and drew up the blueprints.

Meanwhile, I worked my way to some ears at Raythean who might be interested in the design and became the bridge between the two parties.

We've faced many issues in the design, particularly, the helmet.

We had to find the fine line between practicality and comfort; especially for a Cautus' ears.

Many inspirations were took from multiple sources — Rim Biliton's equipment, current operator's preferences...

Regardless, due to his close proximity to Lucyna, Maria had taken an interest to him. Particularly his physique.

Now, plenty of people at Rhodes Island could match or even surpass his mass and strength but not many would care to be a test-bed or an experiment to Maria's projects.

One being armor-

[Log entry: 014] "Hopper"

...

One of the recent applicants we picked up during our run in Rim Biliton was surprisingly Charlotte's young distant nephew, all grown up and eager to sign up.

He is a tall man, towering over even Nearl but had the gentlest smile and introduced himself as 'Hopper'.

Hopefully I'm just being paranoid and there is no reason to sully what is supposed to be a grand day for both of them.

Attaching the graduation picture Amiya helped took for us — Zofia had it printed and framed by the bedside too. May they be the brightest lights Terra will ever witness.

So! I might as well start using this account~

Am an aspiring writer, lover of Gacha and absorber of lore. I'll probably be using this place to generally be a neater place to share also commish'd art and my writing!

Just for pin's sake, here's a few of my favourite arts I've commish'd!
