The Spy
FrankyMcShanky:
Something else to consider that supports the Baynard theory; The attack on Baynard and Grimm near the beginning of the book. Why would the Silkweavers attack them and potentially blow the Aurorians cover? Why were they in Hobble Morning, hundreds of miles above Habble Landing? Was Cavendash trying to take out Baynard (her spy) before he could be compromised? It's not like she had a reason to be wary of Grimm yet. She seems like the kind of gal to keep her puppets on a tight leash.
The only thing that makes me not want to finger Baynard as the spy is that Fenrus seems to trust him.
My theory is that whatever attacked Baynard and Grim in the tunnels wasn't actually Silkweavers but something else and now Grim has some kind of important hoodoo running through his arm.
Paladino:
Personally, I think Cavendish was the spy as the one who passed information to Olimpia, that dosen't mean there isn't a second spy, someone who passed information to Cavendish so she could send to Olimpia. Baynard is an option, especially if he resents the Spire for the treatment of Grimm. As for Rook, I think he is just a coward.
As for why the silkweavers attacked Grimm and Baynard, it's too random to be sure. Could be that Cavendish sent them to scout/clear the tunnels so the Marine attack on the cristals factories (vataries? don't remember the word used right now). And they just got out of her control with the distance and went feral. Or it could be a plot so Baynard could take Grimm to the aetherist house and mark it for the marines who tried to kill him.
Too few information to do anything but especulate..
Second Aristh:
Mirl told Rowl that there had been many reports of cats going missing, that they didn't know what was attacking them. I'd say that points to silkweaver attacks becoming more and more common as their numbers grew, and Grimm was just unlucky enough for them to choose as a human target.

They specifically note that those attacks where in the lower hobbles.

Not exactly. If the silkweaver infestation was centered in Habble Landing, it makes sense that it would take time for attacks of opportunity to spread to the top of the Spire, though. That seems to be exactly what happened.
--- Quote from: Aeronaut's Windlass Ch.6 ---Mirl twitched her ears in an amused flick, but her tone became more serious. "He says that Longthinker has confirmed the reports of the Silent Paw scouts."
Rowl moved his eyes to the smaller cat. "The new things in the air shafts?"
Mirl blinker her eyes in affirmation. "So say the Shadow Tails, and the Quick Claws, and half a dozen other tribes besides them. Cats have gone missing in other habbles as well--but none have seen what took them."
