About the apparition of "Patera Pike" --<div>1) Pike was old when he died. RttW p. 40 says he was about eighty.</div><div>2) The apparition is called "the old auger," which happens to fit the future Silk perfectly.</div>
<div>3) Wolfe in the Q+A session didn't ever say it was a real ghost. He said it wasn't machine generated and it wasn't Quetzal in disguise. That's all. If he was ever more definite in another interview I'd like to see the citation. Even if he was it could still fir Silk/Rajan.</div>
