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.

There's a good reason that Margaret wouldn't do this. She not only wants to
save Wally's life but she wants him back with her. Here's how it might go.

"You've got to listen to me! I'm Cassie from the future. If you take me to
Takanga Ha'i you'll end up dying for me!"

"You're not Cassie. The Cassie I love would never end up looking like that."

"Well, you see, I got this magical enhancement from Gideon Chase, but it
wore off..."

"In that case, don't worry about my dying for you. We're finished."

I'm convinced that Cassie/Margaret would have thought this through. She
would have to try other ways of saving Reis without revealing her identity.
