Well, here's the deal on Sol vs Blue/Green. <br>
<br>
Marc, you have a couple quotes that give me pause--that have always
made me feel that Sol and the sun of the Neighbors are very close.
When the Rajan says <br>
<blockquote>"I've been thinking about it, and about the City of the
Inhumi on Green. Those were ruins left by the Neighbors' ancient
race; these [ruins in Nessus] were left by ours, I believe -- we
are as ancient as they, or nearly" <br>
</blockquote>
...it reminds me of the scene in Dicken's "A Christmas Carol" where
the Spirit of Christmases Yet to Come takes Scrooge to hear
discussions about a man who has died. At last Scrooge says:<br>
<blockquote>"Spirit, I see. I see. The case of this unhappy man
might be my own. My life tends that way, now." <br>
</blockquote>
On the other hand, the quotes supporting this view are scanty and
obscure. And Roy--although IMO his refutations often prove far less
than he believes they do--in this case I must admit that they are at
least as weighty as yours.<br>
<br>
Secondly, the change from the Ushas we know to the jungles of Green,
is _really_ extensive and not really explained. If it resolves any
riddles, it seems to create many more.<br>
<br>
Aesthetically, I really wanted this to be true. But, at this time,
the task of swallowing all the implications is just too great. <br>
