Hierodules & time

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.

To further clarify this (how tacky on my part)
Famulimus, Barbatus only live for about twenty years,
so traveling by a machine is the way to maximize their
time with Sev. The reason they are travelling backward
is so they can be knowledgeable guides when Sev needs
it most, before he becomes Autarch and during his
early reign. There's really no need for them
(storywise) to age backward and I don't think that's
what's happening.
