If there are special embryos of whorlwide significance, I would\nexpect them to be kept at Mainframe. Now, I can see scenarios in which\nan embryo from mainframe might get to Viron; but given that there was\na store of embryos under Viron, and it has been raided, the natural\nconclusion is that Silk came from there.\n\nI don''t see it as improbable that Silk is just one of many embryos\nwith exceptional skills, provided to all the cities as potential\nleaders at the time of the exodus. This doesn't rule out his being\nPas's son. It would, I think, be utterly typical of Typhon to think\nthat the best way to provide his cities with exceptional leaders is to\nfather them all. (If, as Crane suggests, they are fertilised in vitro,\nhe doesn't actually need to meet all their mothers.)"
