Return to the Whorl

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.

 finished up RttW and I am still confused about a number of things.
1) Why exactly does Scylla want to return to her body buried in
Nessus?  2) What was the deal she and Horn made with the Megatherian
Scylla?  3) Why does Severian say the bird (that has to be Oreb)
belong to Master Malrubius?  4) Where does the Whorl going when its
relaunched?
