First Exodus theory revised

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.

in what sense he wanted an heir - to be around on Urth or to rule on
Blue/Green.
One might argue that if any of his children by Echidna were fit, they
could have been sent in the Whorl. Since none were fit, we can't say
anything.
