The face of Pas

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.

That seems to be the implication based on the analogous situation with 
Scylla. Pas was wiped from the Mainframe. Fragments of him survived in 
Patera Jerboa, and IMO Oreb and Sand. But these were not sufficient for 
him to perform his required operations in Mainframe. That Silk was seen 
as an important viable supplement to Pas is one of the bigger hints that 
he is a clone of Typhon.

What the technicians could not have anticipated was that their clone 
would have been enlightened by the Outsider. Thus, in a sense, the 
Outsider has become Pas.
