How many of these, apart from Silk, are identified??Mucor and Incus, certainly; what others? --Nick Gevers. --- ### James Wynn *21 Dec 2010, 11:35 · in reply to Nicholas Gevers* Incus? Why so? I say Tussah. Possibly Horn. > On 12/21/2010 2:38 AM, Nicholas Gevers wrote: > All the theorising about Silk's genetic relationship with Typhon hinges on the > nature of the embryos.

I strongly suspect he is a clone of Tartaros based on what he said in the Q&A: Question: "Why did Auk/Tartaros kidnap Hyacinth, and why, subsequently, did he let her go?" Gene Wolfe: "Because Tartaros had told him to bring a woman.He released her as he recovered from his brain injury, was able to think more clearly, and realized that Hyacinth was not the woman he should bring. Putting it another way, he released her because Tartaros told him to. *These answers are not as disparate as they may appear.*" > On 12/21/2010 5:35 AM, James Wynn wrote: > Incus?

I thought this was a case of possession. > On 12/21/2010 7:37 AM, James Wynn wrote: > Oh, yeah. Auk.
