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.

Can you pint out the the textev for the Heirogramates being behind the 
dying sun?

I can point out that they *dont* likely have the resourced for an 
airlift (each archipelago on the machine-planet in Yesod is responsible 
for an entire galaxy's fate in Briah) but there *is* a third mode of 
escape (into the past through the Botnical Gardens).
