Chief, "Hey Mange just walked by the Day Care center where working mothers leave their young kids so they can work in the armaments plants."

Mange, <Grayson has sure changed they now have "Rosie the Riveter.'>

"Yah, and the little urchins have a new little ditty:

"Lizzie Wilson had a Talbott Cluster Fleet,
"and gave the stupid Solies' fleet four whacks.
"The Solies came at the Manties' home fleet,
"and were treated to a s'holder Harrington attack,
"Now the whole Grand Alliance thinks that's neat."

<Smart little two-leg kittens. Did you hear what Jayson said when he didn't have his homework?>

"I know I'll regret this what?"

<The two-leg ate it.> Image "Bleek, bleek,...bleek." Image

"Groan!"

Yeah, but would she para-jump out of a counter-grav shuttle with Anton Zilwicki to open the Manticore Games?

Don't be daft. She wouldn't use some sissy shuttle; she'd use a fleet Pinnace. And battle armour.

Hum,

I think Elizabeth Wilson would jump at the chance, pun intended, however her guard captain would have apoplexy, an ancient term for a heart attack, y'all. Besides Anton and Victor are again on the 'Road to Mesa,' with apologies to the shades of Bob Hope and Bing Crosby.

Poker

PS. I wonder of RFC will give us a Dorthy Lamore character?

*Winton

But remember, her Dad was quite at home going grav skiing on a regular basis - no reason Elizabeth shouldn't take up skydiving.

Doesn't Anton Zilwiki count as battle armor?

Via telepathic channel not translated for two-legs

Mange, AKA White Stone Biter [WSB], <Greetings Ground Hopper Muncher.>

Ground Hopper Muncher [GHM], Fleet Admiral Werrf's new treecat guardian, <Greetings White Stone Biter.>

WSB, <How was the mating ceremony of our two-legs' leadership caste?>

GHM, <Leaf Catcher got Bough Strider to try too much of the two-leg's fire water drink. He began to mind sing your 'What do you do with a Drunken Treecat' song. And then Laughs Brightly played a joke on the two-leg guards.>

WSB, <What joke, he was always the Bright Water's clown?>

GHM, <He stiffened and pointed at an old two-leg female, Barroness> treecat shrug, < an ancient shriveled old two-leg. Well the two-leg guards grabbed her and hustled her off spitting and snarling like one of the People's females protecting her kittens. When he told of his joke Dances on Clouds scolded him.>

WSB, <Just as Loud Big Belly did me just now. A two-leg scolding is noting compared to a mind Singer.>

GHM, <When Dances on Clouds got finished with him Golden Voice began signing, then Soul of Steel began in on him.>

WSB, <Poor Laughs Brightly!>

GHM, <Laughs Brightly gave as good as he got by signing to Soul of Steel, 'You two-legs are a humorless lot!'>

<That's a sorry truth!> Image "Bleek, bleek,...bleek." Image

Chief, "What are you laughing at now Mange?" Fleet Admiral Werrf raising an eye brow, too.

Mange, <You two-legs would not understand!> Treecat imitation of Chesser Cat Grin. Image

Cheif, "you had to mention celery salt to a 'cat, sir. look what you wrought:"

In Honorverse forum Anthology Wishlist thread:

Chief, "Captain JG Jchilds warned you not to snort celery salt, Mange!"

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA I ALMOST FELL OFF THE CHAIR :) :) :)

Back to topic I'd like to see Founding of Andermani empire and Saganami's last stand.

Also I'd like to see rise of People's Republic of Haven and formation of DuQuesne Plan (ofc with all mesan references)

Mange, <Hey two-leg, this is good salt, wow I can hear colors and see two-leg mouth noise!> Image

"Somebody send a Sphinxian Vet. quick!"
