"(S50) The Ceti Solution"

67 I just love this little unconscious gesture on Juri's part. It sends such a clear sign to those who know her, that she's been touched to the heart, and feeling the emotions that she sometimes has trouble expressing. PJM

137 Oddly, some readers thought this line was a little off the reservation for Kate. I thought it nicely summed up her opinion of the subject at hand - which is as much to do with Juri's reactions as it is anything Miki said or did. Kate's talking about the whole prospect the three of them have before them, not merely the idea of getting Miki and/or Juri in the sack.

Seemed perfectly clear to me. Besides, all three of them are clueful enough by this point to recognize there will need to be serious discussion and thought about the situation before going further in certain parts of the multi-way-relationship. They've taken 4-5 years to get to this point, they can wait a little longer. PJM

143 Governor Kallon is related to the family that founded Kallon Industries, a military manufacturing company headquartered on the Vega Sector colony world Wernke. They make, among other things, RFL and WHM-series Destroids (trade name Rifleman and Warhammer) and Kallon Royalstar armor, which is used on many Destroids and AFVs. The company is now publicly-traded and no members of the Kallon family are involved in its day-to-day operations.

253 Kris Overstreet provided the political jargon both in Gov. Kallon's speech and in the Earth Alliance rebuttal.

341 Admiral Miles Naismith, also known as Lord Miles Naismith Vorkosigan of Barrayar, comes to us from Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan novels, imported by way of Kris Overstreet. PJM

398 Neville Greeley is named for Neville Chamberlain, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom during most of the disastrous period of appeasement that followed Adolf Hitler's 1933 election as Chancellor of Germany, and 19th-century political journalist Horace Greeley, who tried to divide the Republican Party against Abraham Lincoln and supported a compromise with the Confederacy during the Civil War. I have since come to the conclusion, based in part on a reading of Winston Churchill's memoirs, that I was rather unfair to poor Mr. Chamberlain; that he screwed up and placed his nation and the world directly in the path of grave peril is not in doubt, but I'm now convinced, as Churchill was, that he did so out of misguided optimism rather than outright incompetence. To be sure, no one worked harder to save Britain in the desperate days that followed than Chamberlain. It could be argued that he worked himself to death as a member of the government that replaced his own.

I have had no such thawing of sentiment toward Mr. Greeley.

545 Another scene that surprised me when Gryphon wrote it - but in the final analysis, it just worked out right. After all they've been through, both in the past several days and in their lives, and enduring and growing despite all that's been thrown at them, Juri Arisugawa and Shiori Takatsuki deserve something like this. PJM

856 This medal is the Blood Star, a military decoration issued to members of the United Earth Armed Forces under the Olympus "Ęgis" government. It was awarded for the commission of valorous acts in the course of which the soldier was wounded - a sort of combination Silver Star and Purple Heart. As a young man, Charles Kallon was decorated several times for heroism during the 2388 GENOM invasion of Earth, including this Blood Star, which he won during the siege of New York City.
