Father Inire

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.

Depending on exactly how the mirrors work, time dilation from frequent 
travel through them could explain Inire's stated apparent longevity for 
his short-lived species. Which, btw, could just as well be Homo sapiens 
as far as that goes.
