Inire as a hierodule

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.

Well, I'm pretty sure that one of the undines tells Sev that they are
the "brides" of Abaia. This may not mean much in the framework that
some people seem determined to build up, but to me it suggests that
they are different people (pace Heinlein and "All You Zombies").
