Rationalizations

 

"Sargasso of Lost Starships."

Maybe these Arzunians are more scientifically rationalized than we thought? Nevertheless, certain questions arise. Why have such intense psychic powers not been naturally selected anywhere else? Why do the Arzunians exactly resemble white Terrans? They are an old race. Maybe we are descended from them just as, in Larry Niven's Known Space future history series, we are mutated Pak breeder colonists of a former Slaver food planet? We are certainly connected with the rest of the galaxy in ways discovered by scientists even if not in additional ways imagined by science fiction writers.

Maybe telekineticists can slow their aging process and can also maintain a preferred bodily form over very long periods of time despite environment changes? The narrative could have been developed in various directions but was obviously intended as an ephemeral pulp magazine adventure story that was never collected in any Technic History volume until The Technic Civilization Saga.
