(urth) Who's in Oreb

Well, I will note that I said that the Rajan "ARGUABLY knows AS MUCH
*or* more about Pas than anyone". 

I don't deny there is an argument to be made that others know more.
But he DOES seem rather confident regarding his knowledge in this
case.

She was a child when she was scanned. She has spent three hundred
years with him in Mainframe.

I don't claim that she has "grown up" in that time, for I don't know
whether that would be possible (either in the "real" world or in the
Lupine universe-of-discourse); but I'd be inclined to suspect that 
she's learned a lot about her Da in that time. She is not, after all,
stupid.

Again, this would be true of Cilinia, but not, I think, of Scylla-in-
Mainframe: and that's who makes the statement we're dealing
with here.
