not in DI but mirror dance, when miles is sighing that it's going to have to 
quit the dendarii fleet, and it should have called in the impersonation as 
soon as it twigged instead of calling for radio silence.
and bel answers it knows it's out of hte fleet, but when it remembers its 
career, it will remember the 49 clones rescued, too.  not bad for a middle 
aged herm.

although why would 49 clones be better than , say, 10 000 marilacans in 
borders of infinity?  hmmmm.
