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.

The Neighbors knew of the Whorl because it arrived at its destination 
(the Short Sun system, containing the planets Blue and Green) over 33 
years before the start of BotLS. Due to a revolution among the Whorl 
"gods" there was no unloading as ordained in the Plan of Pas.  The 
Neighbors moved around freely in the Short Sun system and elsewhere 
using astral projection, so they had the opportunity to visit and check 
out the Whorl. They inserted some inhumi to see how inhumi who fed on 
humans differed from the ones who fed on Neighbors.
