Shire simultaneously meets Estiny and Matthew in the R&D department.
To be precise, it's not a "meeting"; they encounter each other in the R&D department.
The R&D department is a warehouse of more than two hundred square meters, with a "Mark I" tank placed in the center. Surrounding it are various tools for production or machining, along with some workers ready for any task.
As long as the designers have their ideas, workers can immediately produce parts to improve or assemble the tank.
Shire believes this can better tap into the designers' potential.
Of course, those who can enter the R&D department, be it designers or workers, are strictly vetted and confirmed to have no issues.
This time, Shire came to the R&D department alone, without Dejoka.
Dejoka thinks he doesn't understand tanks anyway and is also an outsider in both military and mechanical matters, so he'd rather read reports in the office.
