I left that open at the end of CryoBurn. I, Gregor, and Miles are all conscious of the conflict-of-interests issue. I'm sure Miles at least offered his resignation.

An Auditor's powers are not a 24/7 (or 26.7/7) thing, but activated and deactivated case by case. Jumping one between cases would automatically create a case, however, so, like many things on Barrayar, it has ambiguities that only Barrayarans seem to readily parse.

Lois McMaster Bujold:
Lois what is it about the midwest region like Minnesota, Wisconsin, etc. that produces so many of the top writers (serious, non quipy question)? From you, to Rothfuss(Wisconsin), Scott Lynch(Minnesota), Brent Weeks(Montana), NK Jemison(Iowa), Brandon Sanderson (Nebraska), etc. But in particular Minnesota/Wisconsin often seems like some sort of hotspot. Is there some particularly strong writing culture there or what?
