Just thinking about Gene Wolfe's advocation for the dead/admiration for old masters, I could 
imagine him bored in his engineering office in an historic old Chicago building and deciding 
to get a ladder to see what was above the drop ceiling.  Finding a dusty, long-neglected but 
beautiful fresco on the old ceiling I could imagining him thinking, "that sucks. I need to 
put this into my BotNS project".
 
This Jonas talk inspired me to poke around a little. Hethor says his ship is called The Quasar 
and the connection to the Ship which brings the White Fountain seems hard to ignore.
 
The word QUASAR (quasi-stellar radio source) was coined in 1964. It was later discovered that 90%
of such bodies were actually "radio-quiet" and that we were lucky to have discovered the 10% which 
are "radio-loud". Could "lucky QUASAR radio-loud" be converted to Fortunate Q-loud?
 
Just shootin' the stuff.
