In a universe of harsh interstellar conflict, the practice of interspecies diplomacy—when possible—is important. So being a Colonial Union officer attached to an interplanetary diplomatic mission sometimes means taking a fall. Literally. This story is set in the universe of Old Man’s War, and was acquired and edited for Tor.com by Patrick Nielsen Hayden.
