When they discovered on Bery the remains of a Wheeler strata machine under half a mile of granite their pride was shattered. Spindles were not as they had believed the first lords of Creation -- the Wheelers had beaten them to it half a billion years before. The shock led them to cease reproduction. One ship conveniently stocked with library tapes had eventually tumbled slowly enough across Earth's system to be stopped. Inside its meteor-ripped skins were three mummies. They had been the crew. Three crew. The ship had been over a hundred miles acro! ss. Most of it had been empty balloon. Room to think . . . The Wheelers were silicon hemispheres propelling themselves on three natural wheels. Nothing except shell and wheels had survived but there were under the granite the compressed remains of Wheeler cities. Other Wheeler remains began to be discovered. Wheelers had recorded traces of an earlier race the palaeotechs. Palaeotechs were said to have created theType II stars and their planets. One of their specialities had been the triggering of novas as a crucible for heavy metal creation. Why? Why not? Palaeotechs weren't easily understandable. (Once Kin Arad answered to her own satisfaction at least the question of why the palaeotechs had created stars. 'Because they could ' she said. ) In one interstellar gulf a ship dropping out of Elsewhere for repairs had discovered a palaeotech -- dead at least by human terms (though Kin Arad has pointed out that palaeotechs probably lived by a different time-scale and t! hat this apparently lifeless hulk may have been very much alive if considered by slow metagalactic Time). It was a thin-walled tube half a million miles long. Wheeler legends spoke of a polished smooth world where palaeotechs had inscribed their history which included the legend of the pre-palaeotech ChThones who spun giant stars out of galactic matter and the RIME who produced hydrogen as part of their biological processes . . . This was the Theory: that races arose and changed themselves and died. And then other races arose in the ruins changed the universe to suit themselves and died. And other races arose in the ruins -- and arose and arose all the way back to the pre-Totalic nothingness. Continuously creating. There had never been any such thing as a natural universe. (Kin once heard a speaker refer disparagingly to the Spindles because they had manipulated worlds. She stood up and said: 'So what? If they hadn't Earth would still be a mess of hot rocks and heavy clouds. They changed all this and they brought in a big moon but ! do you know the best of all? They gave us a past.
