You do get the
and the new quote, since book and both characters are right, and this is all I asked for in the main question but...

When Gregor is visiting him in the ImpSec building ? Gregor is complaining that Miles, at least, is allowed to risk his life (as he did during the creation of the Dendarii), while he, Gregor, has to stay safe. The only risks he's running are passive (being shot at), not active (like deliberately going into someone's line of fire).
...you don't get the extra 1/2 point since you give the wrong passage and though the risk is not
completely off the mark, this is not the answer I was expecting for the bonus. Not nearly
precise enough, let's say.
So the bonus is still pending.
Speaking of pending bonus, there are two 1/2
waiting: there are two pairs (maybe even three) of characters with the same first first name and the same last name (second first names do
not count; these look like "middle names" in US custom but are really second first names, for instance young Aral
Alexander Vorkosigan did make an acceptable pair with the late Count Aral Vorkosigan whose second first name is unknown, but probably not Alexander).
One such pair, found already by EPS is Pierre "Le Sanguinaire" Vorrutyer and his great-great-grand-son Count Pierre Vorrutyer "the youngest", Dono/Donna's brother, who died just before the beginning of "Civil Campaign" (note that by my definition Le Sanguinaire's grandson, Pierre the younger, contemporary of Piotr Vorkosigan, grandfather of Pierre the youngest, is
not a character; we can infer his existence but there is absolutely no discussion of his life or actions).
There is another pair of Vorrutyers (well, one character and a half-character, in some sense - why a half? this is a hint...) with the same first name (not Pierre).
I said earlier that there is still another pair of characters, not Vorrutyers, with the same last name and who, we can safely assume, share the same first name.
Marginally, one could argue that by my definition of a "character", one could consider that yet another pair exists, composed of two characters (and who share the same
last name as the
second pair above), but we don't even know what their common (at least, we can safely assume it is common) first name is, so short the discussion of each of them is. But they are
both discussed, so they count as characters, contrary to Pierre Vorrutyer "the young
er" whose very existence is subject to (a very safe) assumption.

PS : I can't remember if it's been asked already, but is "Captain Vorpatril's Alliance" fair game, now ?
I'll put it to a vote. One negative answer by someone active here and we'll delay. When all people who are regularly active here agree, we'll call it fair game.
