Crossovers that Should Not Be 4: Son of Crossover's Bride

[ECSNorway]

So I've been re-reading the '1632' series recently, and had a bit of inspiration.

There's a bit in 1634: The Baltic War where Mike Stearns is ordered by Gustavus Adolphus to lead a military expedition to some podunk nowhere on
the Elbe River, in order to secure one of their timberclads that's had a mechanical breakdown and make sure no French raiders get at it or anything. And it
goes on about how he doesn't know anything about this or that, so he goes and finds someone who does, and puts them in charge, etc, etc. All about how
great he is at delegating and being a people person.

And then there's his whole theory on how to deal with disasters. "If you're about to fall on broken glass," he says, "You've got
three choices. Fall and die, catch yourself on your hands and get hurt, or - and I prefer this one - run faster."

At which point my hindbrain coughed up the words, "forward momentum".

And I got to wondering what would happen if we were to drop Miles Vorkosigan on poor overworked Mike...
