You know, having come kicking and screaming to the conclusion that Silk 
is positively a clone of Typhon, this actually complicates Silk's 
encounter on the Aureate Path. Let's say two of his parents are Tussah 
and Silk's Mother. Who are the other two? Typhon as clone father? Okay. 
Maybe. So who is the other mother? Not Kyrpris or even Mamelta. "Early 
Summer"?
