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.

Some people do find it controversial whether the name 'megatherians'
refers to the monsters (Erebus, Abaia and co.), but that's by the by.

As James says, there is definitely a connection between the Mother on
Blue and Scylla on Urth - I think they are said to be sisters. There
are indications, notably the bean story, that the monsters on Urth
came from space; this may mean either that they came from Blue, or
that they came to both Urth and Blue from a third planet.
