Hrmm. Not quite Schlocknuri.

(Potential spoiler about Schlocks fate for people who haven't been following the announcements in semi-recent years:)

I remember one of the "this is act 3" posts telling us that Schlock would still be around and still be a mercenary after the main story was finished. So will Schlock immediately reform, having essentially been copied into dark matter rather than converted (assuming he's even in there, having copied himself into the dronuri using eyeball protocol or something), or will they need another way to get him back later? Or did Howard lie and is this the end for our hero? (It's probably not that one.)
