Spoiler(s) dangling threads

Were any Medusa Bs completed before Oyster Bay?

Now that treecats have guns (and rifles are in the works too) will they form a regiment?

Is Treecat bodyarmor far behind?

And Treecat crewed LAC squadrons?

Will the MAlign sneak attack Basilisk also and tick off the Stilties as well?

Will they ever find out, that the Torch whormhole works and the science ship doesn´t return because of human interruption?

Will the GA develope a sensor in the near future to detect Alignment ships?

Will Shannon Foraker and Sonja Hemphill play the Boss and only develope what needed, or will they surprise us with some crazy stuff?

I think Red Sonja will have found the perfect professional foil for her. She will push the envelope on what is possible with technology. Shannon will review current capabilities and find more applications for them. Each will have a thinker as creative as she is but focused on different and complimentary areas.

While Sonja will be working on shrinking her FTL fire control link requirements and Herlander will be trying to devlope the spider drive Shannon will be trying to get current sensors tweaked to register the theoretical emissions of the spider. Well, that might not be exactly what they'll do, but Sonja and Herlander will be pushing current theory and Shannon will be milking capability out of each advance.

I can't wait to see how the Honorverse develops when next we visit.

Shannon will have teams poring over the Ganymede Data for everyhing the SL has that can be adapted/adopted like the speed of the Cataphracts, maybe the grazers. Definitely sensor upgrades to pick up those missiles the SLN strapped RD impellers to.

The streak drive will be a priority. Develop it then turn it over to Sonia for refinements, miniaturization- all the bells and whistles. There's just too much practical advantage to not deploy it

The streak drive also makes it interesting in the political changes it allows. Its a ~150% increase in speed, taking a trip from example, Grayson, to Manticore from a bit over 4 days to about 2 and a half. Meaning a message from the Queen sent Friday at tea can reach the protector by breakfast Monday.

Indy and Abigail together would definitely provide some great investment opportunities.

The streak is perhaps the best technological innovation to come from the MAlign vis-a-vis general applications and benefit. IFF it can be built and operated cheaply enough, otherwise its a military necessity and a toy for te obscenely rich and famous. So, of course, Uncle Jacques will absolutely have to have it.

Uncle Jacques is an interesting fellow. It will be interesting to see how his role is redefined with the major shift in reality as Mesa is now in allied hands, Manpower about to go belly up and the Alignment exposed but still hidden. I bet that it gets really interesting.

How is Manpower going to go belly-up? All they gotta do is head out to their outpost on the other side of Torch's WHJ and set up shop there under the protection of a detachment of Mannerheim's finest.

How does the disposal, fall-guy cutout know about the Felix Wormhole Junction or have an "outpost" in an uninhabited (uninhabitable?) system?

A lot of Manpower's genetic research was guided by the MAlign Onion, but Manpower was never more than the dirty, outer-most, layer of the MAlign onion.
