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.

The play Cassie is in at the beginning of the book is called "The Red
Spot" and two of the other characters in the play are talking about taking
their vacation in the moons of Jupiter, which is presented as a risky kind
of a thing to do.

'Memorare' takes place in Jupiter's system or Saturn's? I misremember.
