Although Ketis, Alexis and their many collaborators had expanded the scope of the Elemental Universe a bit too much, Ves was not necessarily displeased by the results.
Although its new features would certainly attract a lot of unwelcome attention from regulating bodies, Ves may be able to prevent the worst from happening.
He did not want third parties to swoop in and usurp control over the Elemental Universe.
The Larkinson Clan specifically set up the Elemental Universe Consortium in order to ensure that the original creators retained enough control over their creation.
While the Larkinsons might permit other groups to acquire a share into the Elemental Universe Consortium, the clan had to retain majority control.
This was the absolute bottom line!
Ves knew that he had to leverage his power and influence as a tier 2 galactic citizen to the fullest if he wanted to prevent the Elemental Universe from falling into other people's hands.
