finally read AEG

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.

Hi Ryan -

There is certainly a tart sweetness to Cassie that is very much Rosemary
Wolfe.  He told me once that Cassie is motivated throughout by love (as
opposed to Chase and Reis who are motivated by a number of other things).
He's quite fond of the character.  I'm less sure about his pride/affection
for Reis.

I don't know if Gene is especially proud of AEG, but I do know that he had a
great deal of fun writing it.

Hope you and your family are well -

RBT
