She also used that during The Faded Sun series, with Sten Duncan being made to do without the drugs whilst traveling with the Mri (and with other humans doing so later).This is essentially how Humans make interstellar jumps in CJ Cherryh's "Chanur series"

I'll have to copy your comments and show them to her....She'll smile
But yes, please convey, along with my respects!
