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.

"Urth", ch. 8: "We sail in and out of Time, then back again. There is only
one ship, the captain says. All the ships we hail between the galaxies or
the suns are this ship. How can I know how often they have tried, or how
often they have succeeded?"
