When she was still in training, Valeria continued field-testing Kleinberg designs when she could, getting in some additional training, helping out the family, and using the data to improve Hekatonkheir all at the same time. Valeria is usually carrying one or more of these designs at all times, even now, as well as some more personal experiments. Being prototypes, they have a tendency to fail, break, or, worse, complicate the situation. She usually, also, cribs anything she finds useful to apply it to her own ends.

			On a field test for one of the latest Kleinberg designs (with Valeria insisting on tagging along at age of 14), they were unexpectedly attacked by a kaiju, and the tester was crushed. Valeria saved the day, partly by wielding the weapon with surprising skill (she had been practicing), and partly by driving away the monster by using enough explosives to level a small village. Unfortunately she did, in the process, level a small village. Fortunately, no one was hurt (by the bombs, the kaiju was another matter), but Valeria was urged to be more careful in her liberal use of demolitions. A piece of advice that she has thus far mostly failed to take to heart.

			The incident cemented in her once and for all the desire to be a hunter.
