Citizen Commodore Rachel Yang was regular Navy / PN not State Sec and seemed to be a reasonably decent sort, from what we saw of her.

Since she was with the first convoy to arrive at Hades, she must have learned her x-CNO Amos Parnell was alive and part of the evacuation party along with Admiral Sabrina Longmont. She may have even met the two of them.

If she has survived, she would have been under Legislaturist, CPS and Republican Navy commands.

AND survived her OWN stay on Hades.

Oooh, now I want her back, too!

I wonder if Rear/Vice/Full Admiral Rachel Yang would be useful somewhere in the gi-fucking-normous military unit that is Grand Fleet?

I wonder if she might be ripe to fall in love with a Manticoran?

Assuming that she didn't leave with Parnell with the rest of the evacuees.

I'd like to see any of Honor's inner circle watching when Warner Caslet shakes hands with Thomas Theisman, and they agree that he'd made an honorable choice, and Theisman hands him an unconditional pardon signed by Eloise Pritchart.

Agreed, though what I would like to see Pritchart hand to hand Parnell is "Kevin Usher found part of your family still alive. They got far enough below StateSec's visibility level to survive. Would you like to be able to see them again? I don't remember if Yu has family in Haven that we know of or not.

For that matter, I wonder if that courier crew (the one that 'tipped off' Chernek by not bringing the chess move he was expecting) is still relaying messages around known space...and what they are thinking about all this.

I can't see that, fallsfromtrees. It was too quick, to sudden, and her first loyalty (IMHO) would be to her crew and passengers, to see that they survived.

And her? Well, the idiot in command is still alive and would have been looking for a scapegoat to present to St. Just, so there is a distinct possibility that she is no longer alive, given the proclitity of the PRH under the Committee to shoot first and, after asking questions, shoot the corpse again....

Not clear he would have had that degree of authority. Remember that St Just was considering having Thorngreave shot, but decided to leave him on Hades, so it is possible that any recommendations from him would fall on deaf ears, and that she is still alive.

Actually, that does leave the question of what happened to all of the people left on Hades when Honor left, and then, a few years later, the new government took over. Does Eloise repatriate most of them or leave them to rot (sorry rose), or invite them to emigrate to a galaxy far, far away.

I presume President Prichard sent a commission out to Hades to review the individual cases and either free them, send them to 'normal' prisons to serve out their terms, or allow them to emigrate.

She would have to send someone she trusted to handle it....hmmm, maybe we know where Everard Honeker has been the past few years (clearing up 200,000 cases would take awhile....) 8-)

I wish I had been able to see Aivars Therekov's reaction when he got the news that the 'Nasty Kitty" had been destroyed at Oyster Bay, along with his then-XO Austin FitzGerald and who knows how many more friends.

I would suggest any and all MAlignment folks stay well out his way....the man does have a bit of a temper... :o
