"I'll present you a deal. In exchange for being the main supplier of stellar processors for the dealership, the Seven Sparks Forge store would licence two stellar processor blueprints to you."
Maessen was surprised by this statement but he wasn't in a rush to agree or refuse. Amused, he asked,
"Since when does a vestige-smith store design stellar processors?"
Although stellar processors were technically vestiges, they obviously weren't the same as weapons. As a result, it wasn't surprising for a vestige-smith in the weapons industry to be unable to make or design a stellar processor; in fact, this was the reality of things. It was like expecting an electrical engineer to be able to design a rocket or a nuclear power plant. Although they were all engineering roles, an electrical engineer was clearly different from an aeronautical engineer and a nuclear engineer.
