<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=671543522-22042008>Maytera Marble has
cooling coils in her cheeks. Mucor's brain is so different from normal
that it baffles a brain surgeon. Silk, like Mucor, is also the
product of an altered embryo, so parts of his anatomy may be very different from
normal. I think the description of Marble's coils may be intended to serve
as a clue that Silk has some unique anatomical feature in his cheek. I've
seen pointed out on the list that often Silk touches his cheek before making
some kind of deductive leap. Possibly the circling motion of his fingers
stimulates this effect, or the effect somehow prompts him to touch his cheek,
like a mild itch.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
