Anthology ideas: Story about the Human-Accessible College built by the Biran. Humans using saturation diving maybe? Big open spaces for the humans. Naturally freaks biran out but they have daredevils too...

Story about obtaining and reverse engineering the probe. Presumably Dirac had it. This could be during the war, the probe is snuck out for safekeeping because the enemy threaten to overrun the institute where it is kept and destroy it.
