The campaigning intensified.
The different leadership candidates all knew what was at stake. They campaigned intensively and broadcasted their public events on a frequent basis.
The election would begin in less than 2 weeks. This gave them very little time to publicize their agenda, make the Larkinsons remember their key points and inspire confidence in their ability to lead the clan during these difficult times.
Ves observed the campaigning from a distance. No one important had asked for his help, and he did not intend to meddle with the proceedings in any fashion.
His time in leading the clan had effectively come to an end. Ves already enjoyed the sense of liberation and the removal of responsibilities that he increasingly found burdensome.
Once his successor formally took over, Ves no longer had to worry about so much stuff and could devote more time to his mech design projects.
