Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Where do Komarr's population live?

Answer: In sealed domes.

Komarr's atmosphere is too cold and doesn't contain enough oxygen for humans to survive long.
2. Why is Miles on Komarr?

Answer: To investigate the destruction of Komarr's soletta array.

The soletta array had been destroyed. But was it accident or sabotage?
Miles going to Komarr for a holiday would be a bit of an unlikely event.
3. Miles is accompanied to Komarr by another Imperial Auditor. Who was he?

Answer: Professor Vorthys.

Professor Vorthys is the empire's leading structural failure engineer.
4. What was Etienne Vorsoisson's initial opinion of Miles?

Answer: A classic Vor twit.

In this, as in so many things, Tien was so wrong.
5. Do the powers Miles have as an Imperial Auditor make it easy for him to know what to do?

Answer: No

Despite dying for a job (literally!) that had no written regulations Miles was finding it hard to define the limits on his powers.
6. What sort of jewelry did Miles buy while oh his shopping trip?

Answer: Sets of earrings and pendants.

Miles bought a set of Komarrs and Barrayars as earrings for Laisa and Delia, and a pendant Barrayar for an unnamed lady as well as a Sergyar for his mother.

Answer: Search and Rescue had found an unexpected body in the soletta wreckage.

The investigators had accounted for everyone who was supposed to be there.

Vorzohn's Dystrophy is a grim legacy of Barrayar's Time Isolation.
9. What was Tien's Vorsoisson's job?

Answer: He was an administrator with the Serifosa Terraforming Organisation.

He seems to have been an averagely decent administrator, if more ambitious than his abilities allowed for.
10. What did Tien and Miles find when they investigated the experimental station?

Answer: A group of Komarran patriots.

Tien wasn't expecting anyone to be at the experimental station.
11. Why did Ekaterin go out to the experimental station?

Answer: A conspirator called to tell her that her husband was waiting for her there.

Ekaterin had had enough of Tien and was just about to leave him when the phone call came.
12. What were the conspirators trying to do?

Answer: Destroy the Barrayaran wormhole junction.

The conspirators had come up with a device they thought would take out the wormhole, but the maths weren't quite right...
13. Where was Ekaterin taken prisoner?

Answer: On Komarr's transfer station.

Ekaterin and one of the conspirators recognised each other when Ekaterin was meeting her aunt.
14. Who destroyed The Device?

Answer: Ekaterin.

Ekaterin lost her temper. Really, really lost her temper!
15. Miles admits to a number of previous Lady Loves. Just how many did he name?
