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.

Really? So Silk seeing an astral flying Oreb in his room while the 
current Oreb is lame downstairs doesn't give you pause? Incanto and Oreb 
in the grandmother's tale from her youth on the Whorl doesn't seem 
suspicious? The screwy timeline in the Book of the Short Sun (Sinews 
kids age not really matching, the times since Horn, Hoof, and Hide not 
matching), that doesn't make you think astral travel is temporal?

There's something else too. The astral travel that Mucor does is not the 
same as what the Rajan does. Mucor takes hours to reach the Whorl by 
astral travel. Travel with the Rajan is instanteous. I suspect is Wolfe 
recognizes an ability for Time travel in order to accomplish this.
