Where did you get this? AFAIK, their technology was hidden under Jijo's seas, or maybe even lower.

With Galaxy Four being detached from hyperspace, I imagine that *all* galtech would fail miserably. This would *include* everything that the Buyur left, because they are just another bunch of Library-sucking Galactics. >Will the solution to the full novel be more complex than giving both the >Jophur and the Buyur exactly what they want? > >The Jophur get a universe where they are in control. >The Buyur get to control the Jophur. > >Maybe it'll be more complex. > I think Jijo _should_ be left inside a purely Relativistic Universe, with v < c, and all tech coming from XX-cen Earth science. Even some species would either die or become insane - the poor Noor, for example, would become desperate, without _any_ psi [remember: psi waves propagate in hyperspace] >Maybe in the middle of everything two whales, a host of Pring, and the >cometary mass they're touring with will show up. > Two whales? A host of Pring? Where did you get these? BTW: I have *no* idea about the relative date of _Temptation_ and the end of _Heaven's Reach_. I think _Temptation_'s end precedes the breaking of Galaxy 4, otherwise all Buyur tech would fail before the end of the book.
