Due to his upbringing, he is probably the most fresh-eyed and vulnerable<em>seeming</em>. Echo, being a living fragment of a past world, could interest Ios--and his knowledge and comfort with Machine Intelligences might earn him some favor with LADDIE (if I understand the character correctly).<br/><br/>Food for thought.
