    Summary

    “Should call you the Ottawa Puppies,” says the Toronto centre, Svensson. As an insult it makes no sense, so Ilya ignores it, until he continues, “Hear Hollander keeps you on a short leash.”

    Ilya is the captain, so if anything, he should be holding the leash. In English, you can be singular or plural, but he knows what Svensson is trying to say. He is saying Ilya Rozanov, you are Hollander’s bitch.

    “Only sometimes,” Ilya replies, grinning. He wins the face off.

    OR: Ilya trains himself to be a very, very good guard dog for Shane.

    Growing up is a slow process.

    "Of course, this sort of colour is also designed to indicate social class, which, although we British are far too squeamish to say so, still fascinates most of us.” (Re: the papers quoting murder victim Joanna Yeates parents’ house price, Sally Baker, Feeedback, Times Jan 8 2011)

    Summary

    “We’re going to be together a long time,” Karl said, “and I’d hoped we could be friends.”

    “We can be friends,” Ian rasped. A metal arm unfolded from the wall, holding a hypodermic needle. “No,” he said. “I’ll cooperate with you. You don’t have to—Karl, what is that? Wait—“

    “I know you’ll cooperate with me,” Karl said. “I’m very confident of that, Ian.”

    --

    Dr. Ian Schevchenko is supposed to be in cryosleep for another 45 years.

    But he's awake now. Because Karl, the ship's AI, was bored and lonely...and he needed a playmate.
