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.

Perhaps Mamelta said so, but I seem to remember a flashback from Maytera 
Marble, too (instead?).  She was herded onto the lander and has a clear 
memory of admiring one of the chem soldiers who was standing guard.  I think 
that was in Lake or Calde otLS
