Leading up to this battle is the first time Honor had to pull rank.


What is the Second Battle of Marsh?

When she pulled rank on Admiral Draskovic to get the staff she wanted for Sidemore?

Oh darn. Did that precede the Battle of Cerberus when she pulled her Grayson rank of Admiral on, whats-his-face?

Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense

No, Cerberus happened first. I didn't know the question included her being able to swap ranks in two different navies. Lol.

As I remember, neither did he realize Honor was able to switch rank. :lol:

Now, for double jeopardy, this is the officer she pulled rank on?

That is correct, sir. Maybe I should've chosen a more obscure Sphinxian plant? Lol.

Yep. As a bonus, here's a couple of quotes from the scenes: (In Enemy Hands)

His thoughts broke off as someone rolled out into the very middle of the passage. His sudden appearance took Timmons totally by surprise, and he gaped at the apparition in shock, unable to believe anyone would deliberately throw himself into what he knew had to be a deathtrap.

But that was because he'd never encountered a Grayson armsman whose Steadholder was in danger. Robert Whitman had only one purpose in life, and his very first shot tore Citizen Lieutenant Timmons to bloody rags.



"Are you sure, Jamie?" he asked quietly.

"I'm sure." Candless' reply was almost serene, and he turned his head to smile at LaFollet. "We've had some good times, Major. Now go get the Steadholder out of this."

"I will," LaFollet told him. It wasn't just a promise; it was an oath, and Candless nodded in satisfaction.

"You'd better be going then, Andrew," he said much more gently. "And later, when you've got her out of here, tell her—" He paused, unable to find the words he wanted, and LaFollet nodded.

"I will," he said again, and put one arm around his fellow armsman, hugging him tight. Then he turned and followed McGinley back down the shaft.

Take Food for 400

This is one of the meats Nimitz is fond of at dinner.
