Sapphire Star

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.

Iconic significance---yes. The doppler shift is merely a brilliant sci-fi material explanation.

I thought the connection of the blue Claw with Severian's star was doppler
blue shift as the star moved toward Urth. Perhaps religious significance 
was also intended.
