A certain RMN Officer...

THAT would be a VERY interesting couple!

Oh God, don't even think it. If Shannon ends up with anyone but Sonja Hemphill, roseandheather will never let us hear the end of it.

Other than Shannon and Scotty, who have already met, I kinda like this one. Picture this:

"We respectully submit that it it's in your best interests to turn over Ms. Anismova, MAlign scum. I was trained by Honor Harrington, and you've sorta pissed me off. My wife here, though, she was trained by Aivars Terekhov and lost shipmates at New Tuscany. You really really don't want me to tell her that it's okay for her to play with all of her toys, right now, do you?"

Kaplan smiles beautifically, twitches a little bit. Like a "treecat unsheathing claws" sort of twitch.

Chain of command /Article 119(?) problem though: they're both in 10th Fleet.

[edit getting the article # corrected]

I don't think Article 19 would be an issue. They're both in 10th Fleet, but neither is subordinate to the other (unless Naomi's ship was attached to Scotty's division). At the moment their position is no different to Helen and Paolo's on Hexapuma.

Edit - It's Article 119 that concerns social relations between an officer and a direct subordinate. Article 19 is conspiracy to desert - the one Stielman's happy band of thugs was arrested under in Honor Among Enemies.

I see I've made an impression.

IIRC Naomi already has a main squeeze. She was having an exciting evening in SoS with Alf San Felipe on Hephestus station.

My preferred pairing for Andrea is Andrea Jaruwalski/Lifelong Happiness, so I'm all in favor of this!

but did he survive the destruction of the station? or was he ship based and his ship was in for refit just before Hexapuma deployed to the talbot.

not enough info to answer as far as i'm aware

How about Susan Hibson?
After all he has Sir Horace's example that mixed marriages do work.

Qualified applicants may apply. Y'all up to the task of being Scotty's matchmakers?

... and... go!

I was thinking that for quite a while until I realized that Susan is an amount older than Scotty, though in a prolong society that likely matters diddly squat. She might look at him like a "younger kid brother growing up and doing well", which is worse than being friend zoned.

Yeah, he was at least in more danger than many people based on what we know. But beyond that, we don't know that she was all that attached to him on a long-term basis. She seems, with all the cat-like references and fear/attraction inspired in men, not at all in a settling-down habit so far.
