- • dashing-debate.txt — 2/14/99
- Recovering in his second home in the JPF — the Infirmary — Tance finds himself the recipient of far too many assertions that he is “dashing” for his comfort, the alarming news that Medic Fiana once had had a crush on him, and critiques of his current haircut, all of which are only somewhat balanced out by a bowl of peach ice cream.

- Espra and two of the Infirmary’s orderlies find another big job on their hands courtesy of Tance Vokrim, when the Singer nearly kills himself in a nasty fall in the Ranges — but even when putting the almost mortally wounded Singer back together, still, Espra and Sheila Parker find enough camaraderie between them to comment on Tance’s appearance.

- • tance-neva-chat.txt — 6/9/99
