Ves' mind was racing.
The implications of the Pilot Breakthrough Elixirs were massive.
When Jovy told him that the alchemists deliberately created a formula that allowed them to mass produce the Standard Version Elixirs, Ves knew that these products were solely meant to be sold to third-class mech pilots.
The extreme price restrictions massively limited the quality and efficacy of the Standard Version Elixirs. It was impossible to expect these cheap vials to produce good results on a consistent basis.
Although Jovy did not share any specifics to Ves, it was not that difficult to imagine the Standard Version Elixirs to be vials filled with pure poison.
The only reason why mech pilots wanted to ingest them anyway was that they occasionally produced 'accidental' breakthroughs.
