Auk's fate?

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.

It's been a while since I read the books too (although I'm currently 
re-reading Long Sun and am enjoying it so much that I'll most likely 
follow that up with Short Sun), but I think I remember reading that Auk 
and Chenille wound up on Green where they were survived for several 
years before being killed.  I don't have a reference to point to, 
though, and the way the the books are written makes it difficult to look 
things up unless you already know where they are. 

Does anybody else recall what I'm recalling, or am I completely off base?

Charles
