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.

Interesting theory. It seems to me the consensus has been that Jonas 
came from the Tzadkiel ship. If that's true and Jonas recognizes the 
ship, wouldn't it suggest that House Absolute is founded on the wreckage 
of Tzadkiel?

Well, it can't be as simple as that. If it were Lee and I would be find 
this theory untenable because it lacks clear, undeniable allusive marks.
