Tzadkiel's ship

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.

While not disagreeing with previous responses, I want to point out that the 
Ship may be (in its own timeline) older than Briah but may still have its 
origin in Briah, because of its ability to travel back and forth in time. 

Indeed it may have started as an ordinary "space ship" of human manufacture 
and been slowly worked to its currevnt stature through many subjective 
eternitie.
