It isn't clear if Aubrey was evacuated from HMSS Weyland before it was destroyed or not but Ginger was in a training exercise and so she wasn't on the station when the attack took place

Yeah, he was last seen on the surface IIRC. Only the senior staff and some maintenance crews were killed.

Where was Wanderman seen alive? I need to read the short stories and Shadow of Freedom. For whether Ginger survived, it depends on where she was assigned. If she was engineering, which is more likely...

All of them were lost, as was almost all of the station's senior command crew and a quarter of its engineering staff. But because of his exercise, the entire R&D staff and over ninety-five percent of the station's manufacturing workforce—and, thank God, their families—were on the planet and survived."

I suppose he could be in the five percent of the workforce killed but a 19 in 20 chance of survival seems like pretty good odds to me.

And I don't recall where but I remember reading that Ginger was participating in a training exercise off station when the attack came. Also the quote you gave mentions that the entire R&D staff was safe and I'm pretty sure Ginger was assigned to R&D

This two are some of my favorite characters since the first time I discovered them.

You can try, don´t expect anything but RFC can be nice.


Anyway, i think the fact that they were specifically placed on the station and then blatantly NOT shown to get killed in the destruction is a fairly good indication that they may be alive.

From Mission of Honor

But, be that as it might, assigning him to work directly under Anthony Berkeley had to come under the heading of cruel and unusual punishment. If there'd been any real justice in the galaxy, he'd have been assigned to Admiral Yeager's Research and Development Division, with Captain Lewis. That would have been interesting, especially for someone with Paulo's natural bent for the electronic warfare officer's career track. But, no. In their infinite wisdom, the powers-that-were at the Bureau of Personnel had decided he and Senior Chief Wanderman should get a little hands-on time with the fabrication side. Which, little though he cared to admit it, might actually contain at least a modicum of rationality. It never hurt for an EWO to have at least some familiarity with the nuts and bolts of his hardware, after all. But there had to be some way for him to get that familiarity without putting up with Berkeley!

....

If only there were some way he could quietly and discreetly leave the small classroom in which their party of evacuees been instructed to wait.

I seems to remember someone (we all know) putting the fear of God or someoneelse (we all know) in Aubrey for a small mischief...
He doesn't seem to me the kind of guy to disobey orders.

As for the fact that he was working on the prototypes, the rapport to the Queen said that also the Star Empire did loose some prototypes, they didn't loose the people researching for it. (For me it meens Aubrey's team is alive).
