Is Agia a robot?

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.

"Chems are wonderful constructions, a race that we bios created long
ago, our own image in metal and synthetics."

"No, no." Maytera Marble's one functioning hand gripped the arm of her
chair so tightly that the upholstery rose like dough between its metal
fingers.

Auk was peering at the mass of mechanisms the plate had concealed. "I
see little specks of light."
Incus was triumphant. "...His primary cable has been severed, and
those are the ends of the fibres."
COTLS, chapter two
