*Bureau 13 File: This woman is very difficult to get a handle on. While alien, she acts nearly perfectly Human. She is extremely reticent to talk about herself and at best you get her to talk around herself. She is a warm welcoming wall against personal information. She doesn't even discuss her own people other to say she is from a race of listeners.She will talk about other races in the area, like the Orions. She claims no familiarity with the Vulcans or the others we have recently met. She claims historical, but not personal, memories of the Ane in their home system. (The Ane have said Crystal City is an El Aurian construction). Guinan doesn't know what was called by the El Aurians. (We suspect deliberately forgotten. It seems to be a sore point with the Ane. We have no doubt they remember very well what it was called.)</P><P>Guinam wrote the book The Storm from Orion under the name "Guye Nane". It is a hackeyed, pot boiler, grade C, science fiction novel as a means of discussing the Vegan Tyranny in plain sight. Ignore the plot and read the info dump.
