As a species, "humans" have a great deal of variations for abilities, do they not? Witnessing only Luceti, the range is quite... fascinating. Do you imagine these differences come with changes to their DNA structure, or learned abilities which don't matter terribly much to their genetic code? [Inhale] Thus far, the evidence I've collected [the samples he examined of Adele's] seems to point to the former. Though my sampling pool has been... limited. Thus far.

[Hah ]

Perhaps I am simply seeking kindred spirits. Are any of you from a reality where space travel is a realized and daily face of your existence?

[Too few

Dreadnought, actually. [Scarran, but lala, not getting into that] It is relatively common for Peacekeepers to be born aboard the vessels their parents serve on.

I see. [A pause.] Sounds like quite the risk, allowing pregnant women to serve like that. They must take their honor very seriously.

[Spoken with a lot of respect. Risk in service is what being Vor is all about, and the feudal Barrayaran oath system is based on honor.

The jackasses who let pregnant women serve, on the other hand, might get a different tone.]

Naturally. Peacekeepers are raised to believe in ideals of honor, duty, and sacrifice. To ensure the well being of the billions who rely on the Peacekeepers for their protection, the dedication of every soldier to the cause must be their first priority.

Sounds familiar.

[tellmejohn]

Another military?

[voice]

[vor]

Mine.

[He didn't mean that to sound so possessive.]

The one from my world. My planet.

[tellmejohn]

Ah. Perhaps you could elaborate.
