Stand, Qvo-87,’ said Felix, eventually. The tech-priest stood. ‘I am not Qvo-87, my lord,’ he said. ‘My designation is Qvo-88.’ ‘I should have guessed. The one who died within the Pharos was your clone-predecessor. Is there no carry over of personality?’ ‘Not quite,’ said Qvo. ‘We share a common origin, but we are individuals.’ ‘Then Qvo-87 is truly dead.’ ‘Everything can only live once,’ said Qvo-88 From: The Great Work, Guy Haley

You know, I really don't think that Guy Haley had the whole Cawl/Qvo dynamic fully planned out even as he was finishing up The Great Work. Well, either that, or he is one of the funniest motherfuckers on the planet. Because going by how Qvo-89's awakening went in Genefather, Qvo-88's must have been something like:

"Hello, dear Friedisch... Yes, yes, okay, Qvo. Please listen. Please get up and listen. No, stop crying. Qvo, please. I really, really need you to go over to Felix's ship and explain to him what the fuck has just happened. Better make it sound good too, Qvo, because that mountain is gone. Try not to mention the loose C'tan. Make something up. Be a dear and do it Qvo. Okay? Good, the shuttle will pick you up in fifteen minutes."

Qvo two seconds later with the incense:

‘It shall be done, archmagos.’ Qvo bowed and looked to be about to leave, but he hesitated. ‘Please, archmagos, I am not Friedisch. He is dead. I am Qvo-88.’ Cawl continued to peer into the wonders of the necron map. Other data, more precious still, coursed through his mind, exhilarating in its alienness. ‘I know, Qvo,’ he said distractedly, ‘I know.'
