Didonian Learning

The Rebel Worlds, CHAPTER TWELVE.

Guardian of North Gate does not understand pidgin because:

"...only heesh's noga had been in Cave Discoverer." (p. 481)

However, all of Lightning Struck The Houses's units have linked with those of Cave Discoverer in order:

"...to gain some command of pidgin." (p. 483)

A Didonian entity remembers heesh's own experiences but also receives memories from heesh's three units. The novel begins with a linkage between -

the noga of:

Guardian of North Gate
Raft Farer
Woe
Many Thoughts
Cave Discoverer
Master of Songs

- the krippo of:

Iron Miner
Lightning Struck The House
Many Thoughts

- and a new young ruka.

They link to share a memory:

"(Blurred, two legs, faceless...no, had they beaks?)" (p. 369)

Kaor, Paul!

Nicely done and imaginative speculation by PA on how these strange xenosophonts think.

Ad astra! Sean
