The Cat and significance to BOTNS

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.

Jonas' recognition of the notules from his travels to other planets is 
textev that the creatures are summoned, rather than conjured or 
transmogrified.

The possibility remains that some kind of exchange of creatures might be 
necessary or at least facilitate the process; that might explain what 
happened to Hethor's paracoita as well as the cat thing.
