In
the
ranks
,
Jimmy
de
Soto
coughed
his
amusement
.
At
the
time
he
was
speaking
for
most
of
us
.
Ninety
per
cent
of
Envoy
intake
came
up
through
the
Protectorate
’
s
conventional
forces
,
where
weaponry
generally
held
a
status
somewhere
between
that
of
toy
and
personal
fetish
.
UN
marines
went
everywhere
armed
,
even
on
furlough
.
Virginia
Vidaura
heard
the
cough
and
caught
Jimmy
’
s
eye
.
"
Mr
.
de
Soto
.
You
do
not
agree
.
"
Jimmy
shifted
,
a
little
abashed
at
how
he
easily
he
had
been
picked
out
.
"
Well
,
ma
’
am
.
My
experience
has
been
that
the
more
punch
you
carry
,
the
better
account
you
give
of
yourself
.
"
There
was
a
faint
of
ripple
of
assent
through
the
ranks
.
Virginia
Vidaura
waited
until
it
subsided
.
"
Indeed
,
"
she
said
,
and
held
out
the
particle
thrower
in
both
hands
.
"
This
…
device
punches
somewhat
.
Please
come
here
and
take
it
.
"
Jimmy
hesitated
a
little
,
but
then
pushed
his
way
to
the
front
and
took
the
weapon
.
Virginia
Vidaura
fell
back
so
that
Jimmy
was
centre
stage
before
the
assembled
trainees
and
stripped
off
her
Corps
jacket
.
In
the
sleeveless
coveralls
and
spacedeck
slippers
,
she
looked
slim
and
very
vulnerable
.
"
You
will
see
,
"
she
said
loudly
,
"
that
the
charge
setting
is
at
Test
.
If
you
hit
me
,
it
will
result
in
a
small
first
degree
burn
,
nothing
more
.
I
am
at
a
distance
of
approximately
five
metres
.
I
am
unarmed
.
Mr
.
de
Soto
,
would
you
care
to
attempt
to
mark
me
?
On
your
call
.
"
Jimmy
looked
startled
,
but
he
duly
brought
the
Sunjet
up
to
check
the
setting
,
then
lowered
it
and
looked
at
the
woman
opposite
him
.
