Pig probably has some Pas because he's been posessed by the Mainframe version of Silk, which is Passilk. But the the human Silk was never posessed by Pas that we know of, so why would the Narrator have any Pas in him?>> I take the passage quoted by Dan Parmenter oppositely. It means that because "Pas" on the Whorl is now "Passilk", having Silk present means that Pas is also present, because Pas is at least partly Silk now. -- Dave Lebling aka vizcacha *This is WHORL, for discussion of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
