Chief, "Thirdbase had some good suggestions for both Victor and Mike."

Mange, <You mean, "Victor is easy: Two leg 'cat. Henke is probably something like: Soul of Self." not bad. I think for Henke 'Joker with Celery' at the academy and later an an admiral 'Guardian of the New Home Trees' perhaps?>

"I wounder if a treecat guardian will be sent for Queen Berry to replace Genghis?"

<I think so probably sent with Victor and a book on cat sign language. Victor could describe her for the people's volunteers. Come on Honorverse Fans what would be a good name for Queen Berry? Perhaps 'When the Kitten is unhappy nobody is happy.?>

Been away for a bit, so Let's see what I can do...
Queen Berry - Sane one out / 'kitten who is elder souled
Anton - Overly serious paternal :D/ Hunter of invisible woods
Kathy - Fire within spring

Victor - One of us :D

Even the best in the world cannot measure up to a dozen highly motivated good-enoughs.

Does the idea of a secret even exist for a telepathic race?

Yup - it's explicitly discussed in Fire Season. It's also implicit in Climbs Quickly deliberately not telling Sings Truly that the 'injured youngling' was a two-legs in Beautiful Friendship.

AKA burrow runners - hence the original name.

Teeny Tiny SPOILER WARNING for the discussion following images are all from the HONORVERSE WIKI http://honorverse.wikia.com/wiki/Special:NewFiles?from=20110925162747 and are from French cover art in these images:

Image Victor Cachat from the French cover of Crown of Slaves (Part 1).

Image Berry I Zilwicki, Queen of Torch from the French cover of Crown of Slaves (Part 2).

Image Anton Zilwicki from the French cover of Crown of Slaves (Part 1).

Spoiler: We discover in Fire Season eARC that the treecats' initial name for two-legs comes from their physical appearance, so here are their images from French cover art.

I wonder what the treecats will name the Enemy leader Albrecht Detweiler?
