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 think it's possible Sev just wasn't very motivated to save Jolenta; he 
had already had the grudge sex with her and was done.

As for the chimera Jonas, remember the Claw heals by selectively tuning 
back the clock
on the injured tissue - this might end up in Jonas becoming dismembered 
since he is made from leftover parts of at least two bodies, one human 
and one robot.
