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.

Is this better, dude? :)

To your point about the aureole, the phenomenon may look nice in a kitty photo, but in a religiously charged book where all the protagonists are named after saints, I think it has to be noted at least.

The folk magic angle would play nicely with the aep-men in the mines, I guess.

And @brunians, I agree That Agia and Agilus are different from Jonas if they are indeed robotic.

In any case, I just don't feel like they are humans, that's as simple as I can state it. Something far too "off" about them both.
