The Larkinsons could earn a substantial bounty if they completely broke down the damaged Saint Piercer and superdimensional raiment made out of almost the same kind of materials.
The provisionally-named 'alien-grade' superdimensional alloy occupied a weird positioning in the human superdimensional tech system.
It was stronger than human mid-grade alloy but weaker than human high-grade alloy.
There were already people in the scientific community arguing that alien-grade superdimensional alloy should be classified as mid-grade or high-grade.
There were arguments against and in favor of either position.
Personally, Ves favored the camp that argued that alien-grade superdimensional alloy should be classified as a mid-grade product.
This was because its base materials consisted of relatively inferior superdimensional matter that was no different from hull-grade superdimensional matter.
