Clockmaker Edit.
Set a century before the devastating effects of the melding plague, the book is able to showcase the golden age of mankind alluded to in earlier books.
That sort of spells out the plague's origins (by way of its temporary antidote).
The Mademoiselle was an emissary of the Shrouders, possibly an artificial intelligence, who was imprinted on the brain of Carine Lefevre when the latter entered Lascialle's Shroud. It is the fifth novel set in the Revelation Space universe, and takes place prior to the four previously released Revelation Space novels, but after some of the short stories. At the same time, Thalia has distributed the software upgrade to the required four habitats across the Glitter Band, but it appears to be malfunctioning; information access is shut down in the habitats she has visited, and servitors (service robots used across the Glitter Band) are rounding up and exterminating civilians.

As such, she is unable to control the weevils effectively, and the Prefects are destroying them in alliance with the Ultras. Dan Sylveste is the son of Calvin Sylveste and one of the central characters of Revelation Space.
Apparently an artificial intelligence, the Clockmaker was housed within a body composed of an unknown metallic substance resembling liquid chrome, which was capable of fluidly changing shape at will but generally resembled a human form. He and Sparver then analyse communication records from the Ruskin-Sartorious habitat, and discover links with an orbiting asteroid owned by the Nerval-Lermontov family (a member of which was called Aurora). "Please let me go now. Unbeknownst to him, however, Gaffney kills Clepsydra and frames Dreyfus. Clepsydra is taken into isolation, whilst Dreyfus explains the situation to the Senior Prefects. Aw crap. However, when they had no choice, they would commit acts of xenocide in order to prevent life from spreading further. In Chasm City, Sky Haussmann is the son of Titus Haussmann, the head of security aboard the Santiago. It seems to me to be very likely that the Melding Plague was/is a manifestation of The Clockmaker, ... and randomly repetitious artful rendering is a theme explored both during Sylveste's visits with Lascaille during Revelation Space as well as in descriptions throughout the series on the effects of the MP. Events take place prior to the advent of the Melding Plague that had already ruined the Glitter Band and caused a massive decline in Yellowstone civilization at the time of the other Revelation Space novels. Scorpio, a Pig, is an ex-crime lord from Chasm City. It seems to me to be very likely that the Melding Plague was/is a manifestation of The Clockmaker, emerging victorious from the battle with Aurora and finding something he could influence.
I plan to read (listen to) Elysium Fire next, and maybe this is all explained there, but am I crazy for slapping all of this together in my mind? Aurora Rising (originally titled The Prefect) is a 2007 science fiction novel by Welsh author Alastair Reynolds. Outside, the servitors begin to construct "weevil" war machines using plans stolen by Gaffney, a Senior Prefect secretly in alliance with Aurora.
The melding of man and machine is obviously a subject of interest to The Clockmaker. I have read CC, and like I mentioned to /u/DMVSavant, I did remember that Dream Fuel came from the Grubs, but the lore about the series states that it began in the Glitterband and spread to CC from there. Dreyfus tells the Clockmaker what is happening.

It is the fifth novel set in the Revelation Space universe, and the first in the A Prefect Dreyfus Emergency series. All habitats in the glitter band represent a different format of society, all linked by the common right to vote. Apparently an artificial intelligence, the Clockmaker was housed within a body composed of an unknown metallic substance resembling liquid chrome, which was capable of fluidly changing shape at will but generally resembled a human form. It is during her search for a means to control these weapons that she enlists Ana Khouri (who was planted in the role by the Mademoiselle), thus setting off a chain of events that continues throughout the novels. Back at Panoply, with Dreyfus in the field and out of communication, Gaffney manipulates the Senior Prefects into voting Aumonier out of office. They also had some very advanced and refined methods, for example they knew about fifteen ways to kill a star, including one that allowed the core material of a star to gush out and be used as a sort of solar flamethrower on planets. I was actually expecting Elysium Fire to be about the origins of the plague (nanites in people's heads going rogue), but it turned out not to be the case, and I feel we might be getting teed up for a third Dreyfus/Ng book where they suspect a repeat of EF events, but it actually turns out to be the plague. They were non-sapient machinery, referring to themselves as post-intelligent. Triumvir Ilia Volyova of Nostalgia for Infinity is an implant-free Ultra, and a major character in both Revelation Space and Redemption Ark.

Dan Sylveste is the son of Calvin Sylveste and one of the central characters of Revelation Space.
The plague was probably something he carried without even knowing it; an old infection to which he had long since adapted. Each habitat votes on its own laws and punishments, the only universal crime being withholding someone’s right to vote, fraudulent voting, or restricting someone's access to abstraction (a form of digital communication and virtual reality used throughout the Glitter Band). I didn't see its mitigating effects as necessarily being indicative of it coming from the same place. A victim of the melding plague, the Captain becomes more integrated with his ship, Nostalgia for Infinity, as the series progresses. She and some of the survivors of the last habitat take refuge in its polling core tower, barricading the entrance. The novel begins with Dreyfus being sent out on a routine assignment to lock down a glitter-band habitat for polling violations. Be the hero of the Clockmaker story and help Uncle rescue the townspeople from the evil curse of the Maleficent Clockmaker. Every habitat has a polling core, a giant computer that generates the polls and transmits the inhabitants’ votes.
