the prime calcula/his citadel and other quotes

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.

Contrariwise, if the two faces seen are Silk's and Piaton's, then
Silk's may _be_ Piaton's -- the passage in question could easily
support the theory that Silk is a clone of Pas.

Naturally, the devout Silk would not have previously noticed any
resemblance between himself and the Father of the Gods.
