Hmm. Any reason why?
Thinking about it a bit, I can see Hawks as being the "television
cameras" - they simply transmit through the Orb with their powerful
psionics everything they see with their sharp vision.
Which reminds me; I must plug "The Fortunate Fall", by Raphael Carter.
It's hard to find but it does seem to be in print. It's not a very
cheerful book but it is absolutely brilliant, and on a semi-on-topic
note, the book is dedicated to Pamela Dyer-Bennet.
