The subject on how to control the Ascended Giants in the event that Ves won the leadership challenge already induced a headache.
Ves did not look forward to tackling this issue, but he could not avoid it if he and the Dark Apostle gained control over the Phase Lord Department.
Becoming its department head meant assuming responsibility over the Ascended Giants. Their problems became his problems. Ves and his alter ego needed to make the hard choices in order to make sure the Phase Lord Department continued to occupy a productive place in human society.
Though Ves loathed it, he realized that implementing an 'enhanced' kinship network may ultimately be the gentlest out of a collection of bad solutions.
