In the thirty years after Barrayar's victory over Cetaganda, this world will build up its military resources. It will enormously build them. In thirty years, we'll strike back - conquer Komarr, conquer Sergyar, establish an empire. Become a military force that frightens even Cetaganda.
[ He looks over at Nash, tilting his head very slightly to the side. ]
In the event that the wormhole stays open, and in the event that Harmonia has access to Barrayar and vice versa...Well. You might want to put a little word in your Bishop's ear that conflict with us is a bad idea. And I'll happily put a word in my Emperor's that the same is true. [ A little shrug. ] I detest violence, you see.
