Typhon's nature

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.

Unless there is scanning of the older clone and uploading into the younger.

If Typhon has superpowers that are genetic in origin, he'd lose them if 
he transferred to another brain, unless that brain also has that 
genetically-derived infrastructure. Might this explain his reluctance to 
lose his "face"?
