Rellin complex was Nidia’s largest air terminal, its only
spaceort, and, MacEwan thought cynically, its most popular zoo.
‘Accident’ probably wasn’t Jim’s version
of those superhero ‘secret origin’ stories that mase
Superman DC National Comics what they were thirty-five years ago
– but that’s how I choose to see it. Grawlya –Ki
and MacEwan, of ‘Tableau’ fame, have been revivified
two centuries later. Since then, these “only two entities
in the whole Federation with direct experience of war, had grown
increasingly monomaniacal on the subject until the honour and rspect
accorded them had gradually changed to reactions of impatience and
embarrassment0.” Then a ground-transporter accident
at the Nidia spaceport gives them the Big Idea that would mature
into Sector Twelve General Hospital.
