Quote: And I got to wondering what would happen if we were to drop Miles Vorkosigan on poor overworked Mike...Assuming Miles accepts there's no way to get back to where he belongs (knowing Miles, a very large and questionable assumption), he'd
almost certainly consider the USE to be the best thing going, and seek to join its forces. Which means Harry Lefferts is going to have competition for the role
of the guy who pulls off the craziest missions. Especially funny in that Harry's most famous crazy mission was a prison break (and see his comment at the
very end of 1635: The Cannon Law) and prison breaks are Miles' favorite kind of operation.
As Don Francisco Nasi said at the end of 1634: The Galileo Affair: "Eek." (As it happens, I said the exact same thing when Ruy Sanchez
expressed an interest in meeting Harry.) Miles won't necessarily cause Mike more work -- not even necessarily more ulcers. The same cannot be said for his
effect on the State Department....

One of the first things that struck me about Sith Moon is that what's apparently her lightsaber looks almost identical to the flexible fuel spouts we used
in the Army and called, ahem, "donkey dicks."
