TWK: Able's future

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.

I don't believe this is the case in any of Wolfe's fictional universes.   
Humans may be special, but so are the Neighbours.  Everyone is special. 

I suspect the thing that bound the descended angels to Skai was probably the 
slaying of Ymir and the shedding of Ymir's blood.
