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.

It's more than likely Abaia's would see to it that his seed survived in 
Juturna, if such a thing were possible, and there are some really 
off-putting reproductive strategies among the Abyssal fishes that might 
suit even if conventional conjugation were not suitable.

But let's look at Juturna's name. She's a bit of a Jotun, true, and 
Juturna was a Roman goddess of fountains who saved her brother Turnus, 
at least for a bit.

Now, who else may travel the Corridors of Time and is associated with 
fountain? And why would an otherwise loyal concubine of Abaia with no 
prospects of returning to the land seek to help some land-lubbing foundling?
