Really? Wow, now I really need to pick up HoE! (I'll add it to the list... :) )
This in itself answers some of my other questions as well, by logically deducing a couple of things. If the Manitou want a MS to build a G-bomb, and keep throwing Inspiration at all MSs until one of them builds it, this says: 1) Manitou do NOT suggest specific devices; otherwise they'd just whisper "G-bomb" to every MS until one built it. 2) Manitou do NOT suggest specific technologies/advances; otherwise, as above, they'd just keep suggesting G-bomb-related ideas to MSs until one built it (and I doubt the G-bomb was built out of a modified flapjack machine :) ).
It seems to me that this suggests that a Manitou drops a bucket of Inspiration (for lack of a better phrase) on a MS, hoping that, THIS time, he'll invent the G-bomb (or something leading to it).
Does this sound reasonable? I must admit, I like this idea far better than simply having the Manitou tell the MS what to build. It has the added attraction of the MS dooming humanity out of his own ingenuity.
