"Yes..." A plan is unfolding in Miles's brain. "Unfortunately I suspect it's going to have to be the wrong one, because if one of us is to hold rearguard against the Barrayarans it had better be the one who can produce the right skeleton on demand. Backed up by, er..." He looks at Ivan and Galeni. "...that part can't be helped, I guess."
Mark nods along. "Yes, I see it. Bull our way through the Cetagandans with our dignity dialed up to maximum power, then turn around and get you after we've cleared them off." He pauses, then adds, "The only way it could be better would be if we could show them me as Vorkosigan and you as Naismith at the same time. Your cover—"
Miles grins, but shakes his head, as his boots hit the floor at the bottom of the lift tube and he starts along the corridor. "I know, but we can't. They'd be too tempted to shoot me. The Cetagandans are extremely peeved with Admiral Naismith just now."
