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.

This is a good question. This implies there is more to Chris' history yet 
to be told. Perhaps Wolfe plans to write more. After all, Chris indicates 
revenge as being one ot the two motives for returning...

There is no way they would admit to being pirates while living in Veracruz. 
A quick way to the gallows, though Novia may just be imprisoned since she 
was pregnant.
