<DIV><BR><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f5f5">> </FONT>A question which
seem always danced around be never addressed is </DIV>
<DIV><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f5f5">> </FONT>regarding who is
Typhon's daughter really, Scylla or Cilinia? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Typhon was human, so I pick the human one. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f5f5">> </FONT>Though</DIV>
<DIV><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f5f5">> </FONT>the process isn't clear
to me, I do have a strong sense that his daughter</DIV>
<DIV><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f5f5">> </FONT>has a dual essence.
Perhaps there was cloning involved but I think one </DIV>
<DIV><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f5f5">> </FONT>iteration of her died
as a girl, but another entered the sea and kept </DIV>
<DIV><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f5f5f5">> </FONT>growing into the
monster which became Great Scylla (and perhaps Abaia). </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I don’t such a theory is tenable, because Cilinia was scanned and uploaded
to the Whorl at a young age. Since she clearly already identified with or
thought herself akin in some ways to the monster Scylla, it seems most probable
that Scylla was already fully developed at that time.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I suppose it is possible that Cilinia’s emulated personality in Mainframe
somehow stayed in communication with Scylla throughout the centuries of
travel. But for Scylla to somehow develop from Cilinia, apart from being a
flagrant contradiction of biology, also contradicts the beans story which
suggests that the sea monsters are of extra-terrestrial origin (as does the
existence of the Mother).</DIV>
