I found Miles unexpectedly in my chain of command when his mercenary fleet showed up on Earth from an operation. 'Admiral Naismith,' as he put it, needed to disappear as they had upset the Cetagandans enough to put a bounty on his head. My embassy had neither the budget nor new orders to give Lieutenant Vorkosigan, so he was to continue as a military attaché and lay low until the payment for his fleet and instructions were delivered.
