addendum on "Silhouette"

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.

I forgot to mention the name the crew of the ship gave to the planet--
Neuerddraht--German, obviously, neu is new, erd I take to be short for
Erde, i.e., earth or world, and Draht means wire or cable.  New world
cable????

Oh, and the captain is a she, of course.
