“I asked chatgpt” well I asked Captain Simon Illyan, Commander of Barrayaran Imperial Security, sole survivor of the Illyrican eidetic memory chip experiment, and he said, “Not now, Miles,” and “Go work on your actual assignment, preferably without causing an intergalactic crisis or new treason charge this time.”

Mountains of Mourning

Story of Miles' life that the cleverest possible solution is never ever gonna make Miles not terribly sad. Oh buddy.

Labyrinth

Illyan: I need an exact explanation of where Barrayar's money went on your mission to Capitalist Crimes Planet.

*record scratch* *screen blur*

Miles: Yep, that's me sopping wet in a murder basement--it's not the sexy dungeon cause that costs extra but non-sexy dungeons seem like a skill issue to me--making enthusiastic love to a Giant Woman who is also a genetically engineered Minotaur. Fyi, she is hot and this is excellent. But you're probably wondering how I got into this situation.

Illyan: I am not. Less exact would be okay come to think of it.

Borders of Infinity

Just imagining Elena and Elli surveilling the prison camp like--

Elli: "Uh oh, guy we were supposed to extract doesn't look so good. How do we get Miles out?"

Elena: "Wait, Miles is... doing a very small cult now?"

Elli: "Why is he doing a cult?"

Elena: "... You never heard how the Dendarii Mercenaries started."

Elli: "Stop cackling or you'll blow our cover."

Elana: "Mmmpffhsnort."

Elli: "Why is he like this?"

Elana: "We're gonna need all the ships."

Simon Illyan is so normal about physical contact and he will definitely not be replaying this moment on his chip every day for the next 10+ years 👍

I think a lot about how in one of the later books someone says something along the lines of really the only person who simon illyan is afraid of is cordelia, due to the lasting power of first impressions, and remember that when they met, cordelia was free aboard a barrayaran ship and covered in the blood of a dead admiral

Ivan has three nightmares as a child. The first is about Miles, the second is about Gregor. The third is the worst, it’s about Ivan.
