After all, the Pak were the most detirmined, intelligent and powerful race around, and human protectors were even smarter. We're talking about guys who could spit in a Thrint's face and turn a Pupeteer world upside down. So would they stand for the Pupeteer experiments on mankind? The wars with Kzin? The botchup job repairing the Ringworld? No chance. If they were around, they would be interested and involved, even if secretly. So perhaps they're all at the centre of the Galaxy, STOPPING the core from exploding? -- Brad Templeton, Looking Glass Software Ltd. - Waterloo, Ontario 519/884-7473
