This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

IIRC, Typhon said that Piaton's head could eventually be removed once his 
took over the basic bodily functions. Evidently he was deposed before this 
happened which was long before Sev revived him.  It is odd that he allowed 
this image to persist on the starcrosser. Perhaps the translation technique 
would not allow this image to be edited, so it was incorporated into the 
pantheon.
