She might be surprised at their tenacity when she least expects it. ;)


Might be difficult for NT to find AA since she was almost certainly included in the Houdini operation.

Just re-read Beauty and the Beast (anthology)

I'd like to hear Honor's talk with her Dad Alfred about his citations and Ostermann Cross from Clemantis.

I'd also like to know status of Clemantis and other Silician sectors now under "new management"

Forgive me if this question has already been posed.

Does a stable wormhole remain stable? Moreover, in the Honorverse, does constant use exhibit a negative accumulative effect on wormholes; more specifically, mass transits that shut them down temporarily? Akin to a warp speed limit being imposed on ships in the Trek world, limited to warp 5, lest cases of emergency. It was found that extended warp speed above warp 5 to cause accumulative damage to the fabric of space eventually causing a subspace rupture.

I know that the mechanics are completely different. I was just wondering if I missed apposite textev to some effect.

I don't think it's ever been discussed. I'm not certain if we've ever been given a detailed explanation of why a mass transit can "shut down" a wormhole and why the differing size of the junction/bridge affects the size of the transit ceiling.

No, I don't recall any textev or infodumps which even hint at such a thing. It's possible, of course, since we don't know much about wormhole physics (and the Honorverse physicists know only a little more). But there's been no hint.

Honor and Alfred have both described their "inner Beast", at least with Allison (although the conversations were 60 years apart).

Have they ever spoken to each other about their Beasts ??

Being reminded of Basilisk Station pre-Harrington, I suddenly want to know a listing of every SO, even before Young, stationed there. Let's face it; Harrington didn't just make Young look bad, but if I had been a SO stationed there at one point, I'd suddenly make less appearances in the officer's mess. And Matsuko and Reynaud verbally castrated every SO pre-Harrington.

Thanks. I wondered if frequent use/mass transits might have threatened wormhole stability, and may be why mass transits aren't practiced. I wanted to make sure I didn't miss a class. (textev)

I'd love to know if Grayson women cover their hair.

Culturally speaking, it would make sense - many conservative Christian denominations still do.

This question has absolutely nothing to do with my plans to turn up to HonorCon 2018 in an Honor-esque Grayson gown in Havenite colors. Nothing at all.

Yes they still do, probably along the lines of the Amish. Where as the Masadans are probably have something along the lines of a burqa.
