Negative. We'd finished all S4 shooting at the time this occured.

Negative.

Nope. We've established (in Grey 17 is Missing, for instance) that guns are
still used on Earth and elsewhere; but in a space station, you don't want a
slug-thrower because it tends to a) ricochet a lot off metal walls, or b) cut
through something vital that would breach the hull potentially.

Spoilers for Between the Darkness and the Light

























The Advanced destroyer group was still somewhat in the works when they hauled
it out to go after the fleet. They'd been expecting mainly to go after other
Earth ships (as was noted in the episode), and didn't count on exclusively
being confronted by Whitestars. Still, there were a lot of them here, and
they did a lot of damage by sheer force of numbers.

Corwin would be running the station in everyone's absence.

(also taps foot...)

She's a latent telepath. About a P1. As has been established on the show in
the past. That gives her a slight edge in many areas.

Also, an eidetic memory does not equal facility with language. I have a
somewhat eidetic memory. I can usually remember visuals and things said to me
with extreme clarity. (Unless I'm in convention mode at the time, at which
point all bets are off.) But I have a real problem with learning languages,
which involves not just memorization, but *translation,* which is a skill, a
knack that some others have and some don't. (Spanish rolled off me, but for
some reason I have a knack for German, though my vocabulary's gone all to
hell.)
