| “ | Sylac was a surgeon of a kind that was frowned on in the Polity. [...] No one complained about what Sylac did to them. In nearly every case they came to him for something other, more reputable surgeons would refuse to handle. | „ |

| “ | Sylac was his own advertisement. He was apparently human up to the waist, but thereafter things started to go drastically wrong. From his waistline there protruded two double-jointed arms, which would have looked more suitable on the surgical robot. The extremities of those two arms bore no resemblance to human hands. They were a confetti of blades and esoteric instruments. His torso was keel-shaped so as to support this set of additional appendages. His head, set above perfectly normal shoulders and arms, had a half hemisphere on one side of it, as if a cannonball was in the process of obliterating it. | „ |
