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.

Just as with the Storm King in AEG, the alien powers at the bottom of 
the oceans only matter to humanity because of their followers.

It's sort of the same lesson as the inhumi. It's human venality that 
make them powerful.
