absorbed from the settlers of the first wave. Thus they
can speak of starcrossers and the legend of Atlantis,
things Sandwalker's people (the original humans, whose
original culture and technology have perished, and who
live like – what's the word Wolfe uses? – dendritic
hunter-gatherers on Ste. Anne, have long forgotten.</div>

I don't put any faith in business of a random girl being said to
have long legs or a random guy having head scars. Could be they
arose in ordinary ways, or perhaps one or both paid a visit to
Maitre's operating table. If the legs or scars were odd enough for
No. 5 to notice as remarkable, they must be unusual.<br>

And starcrosser technology as understood by the Old Wise One seems
to be identical to that of modern-day Earthlings.<br>
