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 had this thought while reading AEG (months ago) that reis was paving
the way for a woldercanian invasion of earth. basically, that the
woldercanians were "mice" who couldn't directly fight the storm king,
but for whatever reason humans could (maybe SK's vulnerable to
technology but not to magic or magic-based technology), hence
requiring reis to get the USN to fight SK and making reis the evilest
man on earth (as he's effectively selling out both the planet and the
species). if the us president suspects chase is at least part wolder,
he'd have a motive to keep reis's motive (per above) a secret from
chase and focus on the gold. the USN might have thought reis was
stockpiling his gold with an alien other than SK, specifically an
alien with designs on conquest.

needless to say i have nothing to back the above theory up.
