Vegapunk's satellites really were astonishingly advanced technology. Still, their workings were just barely plausible.
Take the claim that one of them handled the "desires" of the original body and all the other satellites.
It didn't mean that once York ate, nobody else needed food.
Rather, after York ate, the others subjectively felt "not hungry."
York also satisfied their mental craving for "good food."
To them, it felt as though they had just polished off a lavish feast.
That let the other satellites save the time they would have spent eating, working while chewing on Nutrient Bars instead.
...In a sense, it was one hell of a wage-slave nightmare.
After Vegapunk sent the two satellites off to work, he first had to fulfill the "official" purpose of inviting Shining over.
The group arrived at the Weapons Demonstration Area.
With Kizaru and Sentomaru accompanying them the whole way, Vegapunk showed Shining some... electromagnetic weapons.
All these weapons were based on experiments conducted with Shining's abilities. Vegapunk had collected the data, studied the principles, and reproduced the effects through mechanical devices.
The basic approach was much the same as the Titans weapons Sephiroth had developed. But...
-Hum-Bzzzt-!
Shining held a high-tech rifle with a somewhat cartoonish design. One shot sent a Plasma Particle blasting out, instantly vaporizing an area roughly three meters across.
A circular section had been cleanly "scooped out" of the warship armor plate used as the test target.
"...?"
Did that make any sense?
Shining looked down at the "cartoon toy rifle" in his hands. How did something this small manage that?
It wasn't as though the electromagnetic weapons he had developed under the name of "Titans" couldn't achieve the same result.
But those were the size of small- to medium-caliber artillery.
"The effect is decent, isn't it? It's just
