Silk's origin

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.

the dream sequences equate Mamelta/Kypris/Mother and conflate Hy and Kypris (explicated through possession) as well.  The blue eyes of Mamelta (and Kypris) and Silk certainly connect them - it is of course my opinion that mamelta/Kypris and Typhon have had a biological son, Silk; I never fancied the proliferation of cloning.  But as with all ambiguous things, the validity of these associations is of course not obvious and consequently is not universally accepted.
