The mystery of the image of an astronaut cleaned by Rudesind

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.

Sure. I'm not too sure how much of a cover story would be needed, though.
Tzadkiel's sailors don't seem to treat their time-travel like a deep dark
secret, and Rudesind doesn't seem the type who could be coutned on to keep
it, unless he somehow didn't know it himself. But he had to have been told
something to account for the change in the moon, besides "we do things
differently in South America."
