Thanks. Dealing with the financial and support situation comes
up next week.
And agree re: Vir. He's a much stronger character than anyone
might think. He's sort of the "God's Fool" character, to get literary
for a second, who somehow manages to make it through it all.

No, Vir would never kill a Narn, so he's fine.

No, Peter's accent isn't real, though he does a good job with
it. And yes, I hire (with Doug Netter and John Copeland) all the
actors on the show.

No, we've just always assumed that not everyone on any given
planet is going to speak with the same accent as everybody else from
that planet. Seems more realistic.
Certainly, among Centauri, a certain accent is more associated
with the "old school" of court nobility and the like.

No, he didn't know, and would've been horrified if he had.

No, the only line was that "the Narn is recovering in Medlab,"
something to that effect. Sigh....
