Is this significant or just another hole in the storyline?

A quick thought on Albany - it's an anagram of 'any lab'

I saw the comment about the 18th centaury warship, presumably HMS Albany, but this is not contemporary with the battle of Trafalgar.

That painting is so seemingly random, isn't it. I'm warry of reading too much into "Albany" as someone above mentioned about sugarhorse being really just a random codename with no meaning beyond that.

My current guess is Harry putting it in the file to remind J/L that "England expects that every man will do his duty" even when he it means denying his own feelings--but who knows (and even if that is right, would it mean a warning to L/J or encouragement to stay the course, or just another sign that I have no idea where this is going and it's maddening!)

Re Tarek's youth, chalk me up as another who finds it far more believible with his youth than had he been Malcom's age. Tech stuff moves so fast, even in real life "years of experience" isn't nearly as useful as the ability to keep an ear to the technological ground and be comfortable with change--not that older adults can't be, but growing up in that world is an advantage
