_Memory_. Their birthday message to Miles.

The invasion/occupation needs to be moved back about 8 years or
so, just as the end of ToI needs to be moved back 10. I'm fairly
sure there's textev that says that Piotr got married just after
the occupation ended. Aral and his older brother were born after
that.

I've been tempted to write my own timeline, but just can't find
the time to hunt up all the textev.
