[up]Well, the other dude would look a total creep if he sent those poor beggars back to get splattered, wouldn't he?

Interesting. Wonder if their descendants are still around in some shape or form? Would be interesting if one of the alien races we'd seen were actually descended from our own Earth dinosaurs.

...why not nudge the comet instead of displacing the inhabitants?

Probe may just not be able to get a solid aim on the thing to teraport it. Notice that it homed on the raptors with the radio there.

Seems like our newest officer is having some problems with Commodore Tagon.

Boo, hiss!

I am suspecting the problem is that she keeps asking permission for things she should just up and do.

Yeah, she's an officer now. That means you get up and do shit, then if you did it wrong or it was something you weren't supposed to do, you get chewed out by your superior officer.

The catch is that Liz is still very much thinking like a civilian. She wasn't even used to thinking like a grunt, and now she has to think like an officer. I know she's good at social sciences and will pick this up, but she still needs time to.

And given how nervous she gets, I feel like we're going to see a Miles Vorkosigan level ulcer situation...

In which Commodore Tagon informs Lieutenant Le Fevre about some of the facts of her new life.

While that caveat would be important for some recently promoted grunts, I think Liz would have been fine without it.

I think that Commodore Tagon is just making sure that the newest lieutenant is fully aware of her duties.

Liz looks a bit more comforted at the end, albeit still apprehensive.

Honest question, why does Taylor keep changing up the designs of his female characters? He doesn't do that with male characters nearly as much.
