I would suspect that the phrase:
is either a holdover of a previous era in the setting (during which either Hiders were more toposophically diverse, or during which it was an open question whether modos/low transaps could do metric engineering), or is meant to suggest that some fringe researchers considered asking various groups who might normally claim to be able to do spacetime engineering, even though common wisdom holds that no-one beneath S3 can achieve it.
All the best,

Wormholes, Getchell Wrote:and various Hider clans reputedly capable of spacetime engineering remain unavailable.
