1. When Gillian traded things with Uriel, did she takeany rewqs? They'd be very valuable both for Earthclanand for that Hoon colony Alvin and Huck moved to. Not mentioned. Could go either way if our good Dr. has anything planned. And you forgot to mention Mudfoot. (Then again, Contacting Aliens forgot to mention the Rousit.) 2. Did we ever find out why Gillian wanted a herd ofGlavers? I doubt they're legally available for upliftyet, but Contacting Aliens does say they haven't beenspotted (in the other Galaxies) in 2000 years. Did shefigure they might be the last of their kind, and wantto prevent the Jophur from killing them all? IIRC, Glavers still had a knack for talking to hydrogen breathers. 3. When Streaker and Polkjhy exchanged people andchunks of hull, did Lark and Ling give any of the redrings to Gillian? Those rings are a potent biologicaldefense against Jophur invasions, so it'd be nice forEarthclan to have some.(It would hypothetically also have made it possible forDwer to take a few back to Jijo, but I doubt David Brinwould make things so narratively "easy" for Jijo.) This I know: The red rings are not being used for the retaking of the Jijo Library. And the Jijo Library is not the biggest souce of books on Jijo. That's the Rothen ship--at least until the 4th dimention closes down. 4. Lark saw an Urs on Polkjhy, stuck in an air bubble. Why would any Urs accept such a watery/confined fate? She'll be stuck in that little bubble for the rest ofher life. Why didn't she go onto the Streaker while allthose Dolphins were going onto Polkjhy? Unknown. Urs is not to reason why. Vilyehm
