Calde of the Long Sun and Learning to Read Wolfe

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 suppose Kypris could have had it written in Pas' absence, sure.
What do you mean regarding his parentage?  He was a special embryo bought by
Tussah for his own purpose.  Pas may know about his leadership abilities,
but that alone doesn't seem to get him to evacuating the cargo.
Even if I grant you the above two, there's the original problem of
conclusive evidence.  Assuming Pas has the proper motive and agency, he is
still one among many candidates.
