Was this just meant to be left hanging, or \nhad they served their purpose and their time was finished?  But that doesn't \nquite fit, because Moly left the whorl with the humans.  Would they still \nneed chems after they had settled on Blue?  I'm also unclear on why the chems \nhave such human personalities if they're just machines.\n\n-Steve\n\n*This is WHORL, for discussion of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun."
