Incidentally, I suspect Avon of having a military background. He knows about ciphers and explosives and his demeanour in Project Avalon reminds me of a staff officer briefing his CO (he also knows about guns). I suspect that he worked in military intelligence but didn't see active service (hence his remark to Jenna in Cygnus Alpha). He is also adept with a gun, despite his inexperience, which is consistent with his being trained but not having fired a shot in anger before the business with the visa sellers.

I'd always assumed that there would have been some sort of basic military service that everyone gets dragged through. Although I reckon Vila got out of it somehow.
