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.

Another possible link between Ascians and abos from St. Anne?

NAME        LANGUAGE
Urth        English (phonetic form of Earth)
Verthandi   Old Norse
Skuld       Old Norse
Lune        French

Not only does the orbit of the sister worlds Urth/Lune replicate that
of St. Anne/St. Croix, but the language "French" is used to name the
one (presumably the last of the terraformed worlds; presumably
terraformed or at least named by a different civilization than the
one that terraformed Mars and Venus) and spoken by abos on the other
("remember, you're =3DFrench=3D").
