"Yeah. Not as a first resort, he blew up some buildings first. But eventually he decided he was going to replace Aral Vorkosigan's son with an indistinguishable copy who was loyal to the cause, fill my head with stupid ideas about becoming Emperor of Barrayar, and have me kill Aral, the Emperor, and anyone else who got in my way, to wreck 'em badly enough that he could lead a successful revolt on Komarr while Barrayar was dealing with me. Except that the person he decided to clone was Miles Vorkosigan. Incredibly smart, high-energy, twisty, intuitive, pathologically determined Miles Vorkosigan. And he had to get me as much real information about my original as possible, so I could impersonate him. I did nnnot grow up as loyal to the cause as Galen hoped. It was pretty clear to me who was the better role model."
