Asked Raymond:
I have a quick question. Why did Silk agree to become a part of Pas?
Is
there an explanation in the Long Sun books? Just wondering.
We have absolutely, positively no proof that he did. This was only a conjecture of the pre Horn/Pas Horn that it MIGHT have happened.
I can't find the spot now, but iirc somewhere in IGJ Horn says "Silk is now an aspect of Pas," or words to that effect. He doesn't say it as a conjecture, but as something definite.
Even if it happened, though, Silk didn't necessarily agree to it. His personality could have been uploaded into Mainframe without his consent.
