A few questions verified his identity and universe of origin, then Ryan got to the key points. "You say you gave Last Gift to warriors of Clans Vader and Lewies. Describe the circumstances." "They were prisoners aboard my ship, in sickbay because they were dying of something we didn't understand and couldn't cure.
The simpler words and expressions of the common people are almost the same as those which they used on the shores of the North Sea and the Baltic. For example: Wo is min Vader? Where is my father? He is in the Hus. He is in the house.
"And that's something I hadn't thought of," Medart said. "If you're willing to waive warrior privacy on that part of our discussion, I'll be happy to pass it along to your clan-chief, the Vader, and the Miklos." "It is waived, but only on that part." "Understood, warrior."
"As clan-chief of Vader, I judge the similarity between the Clans Vader in the two universes to be sufficient that we are liable for the life-debt. What repayment do you require, James?" Medart sighed, letting his relief show. "I want you or someone you choose to teach me Sandeman magic, clan-chief.
The crucial question, then, was whether a change in universes by the one owed it voided that obligation. Ryan studied the Prince's carefully-impassive expression. The personalities involved should have no bearing on his judgement as the Vader in a matter of honor, but the human's courage and integrity had earned his respect; it would be difficult to ignore those, though he would have to try.
Restrict himself to the basic facts, then. James had done a warrior of Clan Vader the ultimate service, sparing him the horrors of death in need. That meant the clan owed him a comparable service. James was the person owed, no question about that. Was this universe's Clan Vader close enough to his universe's to be considered obligated, then?
"I am Ryan, a warrior of Clan Vader and Warleader of this fleet. You place me in a difficult position, bearing a lightsaber you claim was a death-gift, and claiming further that Clan Vader still owes you life-debt. If either is true, I cannot honorably hold you prisoner but I have only your word and a lightsaber that could have been taken from a dead or captured warrior in this universe."
"None, yet; first, Alanna wishes Vader's opinion of what we have all seen." "As Alanna wishes. Donovan of Vader." Hurley recognized the chief of the first clan founded after Sandeman overthrew the Shapers, named for the figure in the Saga who had regained his and his family's honor by overthrowing his oppressor.
It's in my quarters aboard the Empress Lindner." Chavvorth took the pictures, clearly puzzled. "An object from an old entertainment tape?" "Right, and I'd recommend close study of the movies, too Lord Vader in particular. The Sandemans at home regard those movies as classics, and based several aspects of their culture on them.
"Beautiful!" said the daughter. "And mamma, only think, she's quicker than Leah, already. I timed them." "I muz call your vader, dough," said the Jewess, and she disappeared through the doorway. "Is she von of our people?" "Nein! She's a Skihoah" meaning, as I afterwards learned, a non-Jewish girl. Then a tall, thin Jew entered the room behind the elderly Jewess.
