I had a sudden vision of Jim Kirk meeting Miles Vorkosigan. Pre-Ekaterina, so rather more manic than not.
So, Barrayar was an experimental planet populated with humans by aliens (kids and their science experiments, natch), only the humans fought their way free, and are now clawing their way into space. In comes the Enterprise...
Just - the bemused look on Kirk's face, and the Spock-eyebrow, five minutes after Miles has talked his way into taking over command of the Enterprise. Completely temporary, and only so they won't get shot at by his countrymen (planetmen?).
