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.

Also this, while i look for the quotes where Kypris evades the question about the impossibility of Pas killing her.

"Pas, whose Plan the Outsider had endorsed, was dead" ... "The monarch wanted a son to succeed him," the false Lemur had said.  (208, epiphany of the long sun)

Here we see that the Outsider has supposedly endorsed Pas' plan and that the monarch wanted a son, and this is repeated several times in the text, about the monarch wanting an heir.  The text right after that says why all Pas' legitimate children were bad and unsuitable for his desires.  And yes, I do think the place where the embryo's were kept was the citadel of Pas, as I feel Silk is most certainly his genetic son.  The only stopping point that makes me ponder if indeed Mr. Wynn is correct in cloning is where Silk see's his own face on Typhon at the end. The four people he sees in his enlightenment are Tussah his adopted father, Tussah's lover his mother, the original of Kypris (probably Mamelta from the blue eyes/black hair connection and other maternal clues scattered throughout) and Pas/Typhon, the blue eyed monarch who has set up this whorl so that his son Silk may succeed him.

"it its place stood a bronze-limbed man with rippling muscles and two heads.  One was Silk's" ( p678) but i think this rather means that Silk has taken his father's place than that he is genetically identical because of all those mother is kypris is mamelta bits, where clearly Kypris the goddess of love is Pas' lover and Silk's mother, even though she tries really hard to get Silk to incorporate her as lover as well.  Just my take, and that's why I feel like the first words spoken by Mamelta are NOT Mucor, later, when Mucor speaks through Mamelta, it is with hyphens between every word, as if broken, saying that she knows Mamelta and Mamelta likes her.
