No she made a lot of enemies. There are a lot of SL planets and I suspect she had 3 or 4 essentially perfect fake IDs, and she is living a very low profile life somewhere comfortable but off the beaten path.

The Young Files contained the evidence, both real and manufactured over decades that could nor be removed or taken with her, I suspect the local Ball Room and other Zilwicki operatives kept a close watch on her to make sure she didn't take much beyond cash, NTM she would have expected them to watch her, and any violation of her promise or agreement would have let the BR kill her out of hand, so i suspect she was very careful to avoid even the appearance of 'cheating'.

It's very lucky that the digital camera never got invented in the Honorverse... :P


My vision of this is that DIMITRI Young had done everything modern technology and great wealth would allow to make these records near-impossible to copy, other than maybe manually.

Ok, I'll bite. It's as secret room that only really trusted family members have access to, why would he do that? How much anti-photography gear are you going to put on your secret collection of stolen great master paintings you store in the hidden vault under your house, and why?

If pods can launch fusion missiles why can't LAC?

Because pods have (dangerous, poorly shielded, not to be used around humans) microfusion reactors to use to inject fusing plasma into the missiles to jump start their reactors.

Modern LACs have fission plants, and can't inject the start-up plasma. (And for the aforementioned reasons you wouldn't put a pod-style microfusion reactor on board to supplement the fission plant)


That said, you probably could build an old-style LAC with a fusion plant and have it fire fusion missiles. I'm just not sure why you'd bother, since it could carry less than a pods worth of missiles; and no reloads.
But technically I suspect it could be done.
(You'd also have to change it's fire control links to work effectively over DDM ranges, but again technically possible. Just not IMHO worth it)

Since a Shrike can fire a BC graser and run 3 sets of sidewalls, it wouldn't have any problems charging up microfusion plants.

The reason LACs don't carry MDMs is because it's an inefficient use of limited space. Just because you can mount a 5 inch deck gun on a torpedo boat doesn't make it a good idea. Likewise a LAC with all of, say, 8 missiles is a piddling amount.

I thought RFC had mentioned at one point the microfusion plants needed a direct plasma injection to get started; not just a lot of amps of electricity.

But in any case I completely agree that it's inefficient use of space.

LACs already generate plasma for their capacitor banks.

Oops. I forgot that RFC said all the Honorverse warship capacitors were plasma capacitors.

I guess whatever plasma generator the LAC uses for that could probably jump start a microfusion reactor if it had to. :o

I would suspect that Georgia Young / Elaine Sakristos may have encountered one of the "wet-work" teams from Mesa, perhaps the same team that rendered Decroix as "no longer a problem".
Georgia had many enemies, and even some of her "friends" may have seen her as more of a liability than an asset
