By now, there's a lot of telepathic teenagers running around on Athos, and sometimes amok as well. So, what happens then?
Lois McMaster Bujold
Well, that's a question I plan to leave to readerly speculation. However, if a double-dominant dose of the gene is required for the telepathy to kick in, in standard Mendelian inheritance patterns, it will actually be the second generation after Ethan that starts to show the effects, and then, of course, only if primed with enough tyramine. The very first actives would likely put it down to drunken hallucinations, with a few poor boys wondering if they were going crazy, till word got around.

? Wanted to send you a note to say how much I have enjoyed the Vorkosigan saga. My husband introduced me to Shards of Honor, and I fell in love with your writing style and the characters. We just got a new puppy this weekend and named him Ivan. My husband wanted to be able to yell, "That idiot Ivan!" when the dog does something. Thought it was a perfect name for a lovable pup that will inevitably become a scapegoat.
