Calde of the Long Sun

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I don't have a firm opinion on this, but I agree that the below is a very Typhon-like (assuming Pas is Typhon) purpose. Of course, there could have been many Silks to serve several purposes, and I assume there were indeed many Silks (or twins of Silk if not exact clones).

And I'll bet someone here can point to a few of them!

There is a strong belief among many on this list that the embryo that grows
up to be Silk was intended by Pas to be his own body when the _Whorl_
reached its destination.
