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.

He *did* load her on the generation ship - as a god, remember?  He held her hand while she was being scanned, as he had just been.

And if Urth-Typhon later had a change of heart and decided to bundle her aboard, Whorl-Typhon doesn't seem to have had any problems.  You'd think they'd have talked.

Now I *can* imagine that after some falling out, Urth-Typhon decided it would be fun to play a nasty little joke on Pas and Kypris, the punchline of which wouldn't be revealed for 200 years or more.  But if he did this, he would most certainly *not* wipe her memories!  Where would the fun be in that?

    Could all this be reconciled with her being Kypris?  Only if one assumes that Typhon has for some perverse reason had her memory and personality wiped and replaced by another's, and loaded her on the whorl as a sleeper!  Why on Urth would he do such a thing?

  Yeah. Why would Typhon have a perverse reason to do anything? Who ever heard of a tyrant disposing of his mistress? What could be a less convenient method than loading her on a generation ship along with thousands of others taking off at the time? How could I ask a more obvious question?
