Next step Quote by Lois McMaster Bujold
““Not a problem," Miles-san said. "Then, if everything proves workable, we can go on to the next step." "What is the next step?" asked Consul Vorlynkin, in fascinated tones. He looked like a man staring at a groundcar wreck. In slow motion. That he was in. "Securing Madame Sato." "How?" "I'm going to have to do a spot more research first, to devise the optimum ploy. According to the public records, she's being kept at the NewEgypt facility out in the Cryopolis here in Northbridge, which is actually pretty convenient." Miles-san's lips drew back on a peculiar grin. "It could be just like old times.””
