Horn's body

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 possibility of Silk being in a two-headed Pas-body hadn't occurred
to me.  My thoughts had simply been that if Horn is in Silk's body, and
Horn thinks Silk is still out there and outside Mainframe, then Silk's
consciousness must have been somehow transferred to some other body.

Is there textual evidence from TBOTLS that Silk may be in a two-headed
Pas body? (It's been a while since I reread it.)
