Paul -
There is no indication that any of the characters you bring up are 
even aware or care/would care. Slothrop certainly doesn't (and really 
shouldn't, given his pins). Roger is a one woman man, but he doesn't 
hold Beaver against Jessica (smirk), he just wants her back at the 
end. Loss.

BTW - When I brought up the Anubis in passing the other day, I really 
meant the ship that Mr. P. so gratuitously, metafictionally sends to 
the bottom of the ocean at the end of V. Loss.
