1. When Gillian traded things with Uriel, did she takeany rewqs?=20
They'd be very valuable both for Earthclanand for that Hoon colony=20
Alvin and Huck moved to.

Not mentioned. Could go either way if our good Dr. has anything planned.=20
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=20
Aliens does say they haven't beenspotted (in the other Galaxies)=20

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,=20
did Lark and Ling give any of the redrings to Gillian? Those rings=20

David Brinwould make things so narratively "easy" for Jijo.)

This I know: The red rings are not being used for the retaking of=20
the Jijo Library.

And the Jijo Library is not the biggest souce of books on Jijo.=20
That's the Rothen ship--at least until the 4th dimention closes down.

Why would any Urs accept such a watery/confined fate?
She'll be stuck in that little bubble for the rest ofher life.=20

going onto Polkjhy?

Unknown.

Urs is not to reason why.
