** In its text about the Krakaren grubs, the AI says that the original Krakaren was thought of by the natives of its home planet as the Apothecary due to its ability to synthesize different substances when it ate different creatures. The Apothecary will be revealed near the end of book 6 to be the name of [[spoiler:a member of the Primal race, the opponent (and alleged traitor) of Agatha's faction]]. Is this just a memory of a legend of a memory or is it a hint at deeper lore?
