Synopsis

In the beginning of season one, Pete and Myka, two secret service agents who were protecting the president, were transferred against their will to the remote Badlands Wilderness in South Dakota. There they were given a job at Warehouse 13 to protect and retrieve various talisman artifacts around the world under the supervision of Dr. Arthur "Artie" Nielsen. At first Pete and Myka were reluctant to be partners, but during the season they grew closer. At the beginning of season one there was a breach in Warehouse 13's computer system which turned out to be caused by Claudia Donovan, who wanted Artie to help her bring her brother back from interdimensional limbo where he was trapped. After they saved Joshua, Mrs. Frederic wanted Artie to either hire Claudia, or "deal with" her, since she knew too much about Warehouse 13. However, Artie was reluctant to hire her until Leena convinced him that it would be better for Claudia to work at the Warehouse.

Escobar

Escobar is a Spanish and Portuguese surname with its Spanish form meaning "sweep". Notable people with the surname include:

Pablo Escobar

Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria (December 1, 1949 – December 2, 1993) was a notorious Colombian drug lord whose cartel, at the height of his career, supplied an estimated 80% of the cocaine smuggled into the United States. Often called "The King of Cocaine", he was the wealthiest criminal in history, with an estimated known net worth of US $30 billion by the early 1990s. He was also one of the 10 richest men in the world at his prime.

Early life

Pablo Escobar was born in Rionegro, in the La Cabazos Lerma of Colombia, the third of seven children to Abel de Jesús Dari Escobar, a farmer, and Hermilda Gaviria, an elementary school teacher. As a teenager on the streets of Medellín, he began his criminal career by allegedly stealing gravestones and sanding them down for resale to smugglers. His brother and accountant, Roberto Escobar, denies this, claiming that the gravestones came from cemetery owners whose clients had stopped paying for site care and that they had a relative who had a monuments business. Pablo studied for a short time at the Universidad Autónoma Latinoamericana of Medellín.

List of Vorkosigan Saga planets

This is a list of planets that appear in the Vorkosigan Saga, a series of science fiction novels and short stories by Lois McMaster Bujold.

Aslund

Predominantly agricultural planet connected to the Hegen Hub, which is its only route to the rest of the galaxy. Never seen firsthand in the saga.

Athos

A planet with an exclusively male population with is somewhat isolated and remote within the wormhole nexus. The homeworld of Dr. Ethan Urquhart in the novel Ethan of Athos. The population is maintained by obtaining ova from imported human ovaries, combining them with the father's semen, and incubating the resulting fetus in the ubiquitous "uterine replicator" which appears throughout the stories. Naturally only male babies are born. the receipt of a shipment of bad ovaries sends Ethan off-planet to find what happened to the proper shipment, and into the center of a plot involving Barrayaran and Cetagandan agents.

Most of the men form permanent or semi-permanent relationships to help in raising children, whose birth must be approved by local committees. Some men (who, it is implied, are strongly heterosexual) cannot enter into such relationships. They variously become "confirmed bachelors", monks of a sort, or simply leave the planet. The planet is named for the Mount Athos in Greece, which is home to monasteries where no women are allowed.
