I hope this isn’t going there. After noticing the posters and calendars on her garage walls (took me back to my childhood) on a re-read I half wondered if she were at least bi (could also just be things from before she inherited the shop), but I want to keep liking her so I hope she’s not a pedo. I am going to assume this invite is innocent until shown it isn’t. (Besides, it would be all kinds of stupid for it to not be.) Maybe I’m just too cynical about humanity today.
Which two of these are Marines, and are the other two Army, Navy or Legion? Confirmed finally, the smaller one is Garri Leong and the other is Herrat. I’m betting the two with the dyed hair are the Marines, the woman at the spy console is Navy, and the big blond is Legion. Three out of four?
This will be specified later, but they’re all military intelligence. The two men are Marines, the two woman are Navy.
No women in the Marines, too much trouble for too little gain. Imperial Military is not a social experiment.
I thought about her legal status, decided in this case her physical age was more important to me. Her mental and emotional age — if it were a kid about her age — maybe different story. But I was only talking about the State third, and there mostly the loss of government contracts Grady craves and needs. First is Larissa’s sisters, second is her dad.
The more I think about it, it’s the degree of predatory aggression that would be most important to me. Larissa has declared herself an adult and ready for adult roles. I might not like a consensual relationship, but it would fall in the “none of my business” category.
And so it begins:

As always, private citizens do it for less cost than the government will.
And will probably use Mexican labor. Too good to be true
I’m reminded of what Heinlein called “Cheops’ Law” : “No government project ever comes in on time or under budget.”

Our storyteller doesn’t swing that way so I doubt any of his (good) characters would be pedos. Bad guys can be evil in innumerable ways.
TGW-077, panel 7.
But then there’s TGW-377, last two panels.
And State Protection in the real world is pretty bad:

Here and now, I would be okay with impalement and crucifixation, Tom Kratman-style.
