Silk's upload

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.

"IIRC, at one point in TBOTLS Kypris (or somebody)
offers to upload Silk into Mainframe, where he would
become a god and be linked somehow to Pas (I forget
the details). Evidently Silk either took her up on the
offer, or was uploaded against his will. This happened
after Horn left, which is why he has never heard of
the Divine Silk."

But as Kypris's offer to upload Silk into Mainframe as
a partner for Pas (EXODUS FROM THE LONG SUN, end of
chap 15) is recorded by Horn as author of TBOTLS, he
was certainly aware of the possibility that Silk had
accepted it.
