[His expression blanks for a moment, and then smooths into something almost softer.]
Ah. [It's little more than an exhale.] I ... appreciate the help. Quite truly.

[ She waves that off. ]
I'm not loyal without reason.

[ She frowns at the change in expression, unsure how much she should read into it, and shrugs. ]
It's help I want to give. I don't know how relevant that kind of help will be here, but it's still available.

You'll be able to impress those around here, the best tech they seem to have is porting and hovering.
What year are you from?

Yet you can make better computers than them already.
Family for certain. The rest of the Imperium... Ah. That is yours to decide.
Admittedly, it is.. somewhat difficult to extract the Vorkosigans from the matters of Barrayar.

I've done my due diligence in warning, then. Most don't get so much.
The link extended to Gregor, so I thought the Imperium factored into the equation somewhere in this.
I appreciate the advantage. I've been trying hard not to screw things up.
I get more frustrated by the idiots running around than the tech and at least there's people around that can repair what I brought with me.
Here, far more directly. Emperor Gregor Vorbarra himself, embodiment of the Imperium authorizes your expenditures beyond your regular pay.

[ She watches as he packs up. ]
Yeah, she is. If there's only one good thing that's come out of this place, at least I met her.
[ And the rest of them, really. ]
