But high-tech hexes had long ago rigged intercoms among them all, and it was here that senior ambassadors with translators could conduct interhex business, try and keep the peace, deal with common problems, work out trade negotiations and the like.

Some hexes remained complete mysteries, trafficking in nothing to no one.

Time went on, people grew old, or they got tired of the monastic life the embassies imposed, or they got promoted within their own hexes, which were their countries.

In all, 702 hexes maintained permanent or semipermanent representatives in Zone, and had their own interzone council with rotating chairmanship.

It will be longer and more dangerous than the direct route, but it will keep us basically in high-tech and semitech hexes so the breathing apparatus and life-support systems tailored for this mission will operate.

Sea of Turagin, but it was one of only six packet-boats to make a complete circuit, servicing all the hexes who cared to, or needed to, get trade and transportation.

But its central housing also bore twin black smokestacks over an engine, which, in all but nontech hexes, could power huge twin screws in the rear.

The problem was that the life forms of Wuckl were, on the whole, quite different from those in other hexes, except for bird and insect life.

Yugash was fairly close to Uchjin, where the downed ship had sat these many years, it was not next to it but several hexes away.

Only twenty-four such hexes were so split on either side of the Barrier.
