I find it quite interesting and somewhat nostalgic to see a dialogue between Lightman, Schubert and Nagassa. That is the kind of conversation that was held long ago.  I can't remember which ones of them were there and which weren't.  Lightman had to be there. Much younger, of course. And Nagassa... Always part feral... Part advanced intellect. Interesting mix.  He'd be like Pan or a minotaur or something.  Feral is not the right word.  Uncontacted.  Yes. Uncontacted.
