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.

Imo, Wolfe very deliberately refers to a hopper as a flier. They escape gravity in a similar manner, too. It's interesting that Reiss draws the U.S. Navy into a conflict with the Squid God/Cthulhu/Abaia(?). Could that encounter be prelude to the Ascian empire? I also wonder if the Takanga group is actually on earth.

The whole business of aliens in the sea of course also brings in
Wolfe's New Sun monsters, and my guess is he grinned from ear to ear as
he connected them to C'thulhu and to the cliche of sacrificing someone
to the storm/volcano god.
