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.

Bless you, man.

Agia's no saint - I'd say that given her record of sacrilege, multiple 
murder, and treason, she's about as unsaintly as they come, in a league 
with Baldanders and the woman who made furniture out of children. If the 
bright aureole represents anything, it's representative of contrast  or 
inversion esp with Thecla whose hair is "a dark aureole" about p.70 of 
SHADOW.

Come to think of it, when she was strip-seached by the Pelerines, Agia 
was awfully modest, and when discovered with Agilus, she holds her gown 
over her nakedness. Agilus mentions her needing to eat. Why would a 
sexbot be modest or hungry?
