"Sosias: I saw Theorus sitting underneath the whale, except he had the crest of a rook! Then young Alcibiades 
turned to me and said, in his own lisping little way, "What a thight, can you thee? Theorus has a wook's cwest!"
[ἐδόκει δέ μοι Θέωρος αὐτῆς πλησίον χαμαὶ καθῆσθαι τὴν κεφαλὴν κόρακος ἔχων.
εἶτ᾽ Ἀλκιβιάδης εἶπε πρός με τραυλίσας, ‘ὁλᾷς; Θέωλος τὴν κεφαλὴν κόλακος ἔχει.’]
Aristophanes, Wasps, l. 42-45. [More like a "crook's quest" fouls his own nest to be given the bird, and croaks.]

"Better fall to crows than to flatterers: the former consume dead men the latter living men."

"What’s left, then, is that it is a matter of dispute—which also leads to impasse; for those who pursue opposite lines 
of attack are so far from resolving the dispute that they actually ratchet it up as a result of the oppositions, clouding 
the judges' good sense. The story widely circulated about Corax makes one sure of this. A young man gripped by the
desire for rhetoric approached him promising to pay the fee he would specify, if he won his first case. They came to 
an agreement, and at the point when the youth was exhibiting sufficient skill, Corax asked for the fee, but he refused. 
They both went over to the court and there was a trial, which is when, they say, Corax first used a line of attack like this:
he said that whether he won or not, he ought to take the fee; if he won, because he had won, and if he failed, according 
to the terms of the agreement; for his opponent had agreed to pay the fee if he won his first case—and he had won it, 
so he ought right away to pay the debt as promised. The judges cheered him for saying what was just, but then it was 
the young man's turn to speak, and he used the same line of attack, not changing a thing: "Whether I win", he said, "or I 
am defeated, I shouldn't pay Corax the fee; if I win, because I won, and if I fail, according to the terms of the agreement; 
for I promised to pay the fee if I win my first case, and if I fail I will not pay". Owing to the equal strength of the rhetorical 
arguments, the judges came to suspension of judgement and impasse; they threw them both out of the court, shouting:
"a bad egg from a bad crow!" [ἐκ κακοῦ κόρακος, κακὸν ᾠόν.]

9S supplanted the Black Box machine lifeform obeying Emil, through his buying of the blank children cores from Pascal.
He creates litigiosus reciprocus paradox: the plaguy egg of the plaguy crow (raven). YoRHa raised from Yonah (2 doves).
