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.

Gerry Quinn: As far as I remember, the only ship Hethor mentions serving on was 
called the Quasar. 

Yes, as I mentioned in a recent post, it was a fairly common 70's- 80's SF trope
for the passageway between universes to be a black hole on one side and a quasar
(white fountain) on the other. An appropriate name name for Tzadkiel's ship, no?

>It seems that, like Jonas, he came from Urth, and relatively near our own time.  

If I remember correctly, Jonas says he got his knowledge of Earth (Lewis Carroll
books, Theseus myths) from reading books on his ship. (a ship where "our own time"
doesn't have a lot of meaning)

>Agia: "His name isn't really Hethor, by the way. He says it's a much older one, that 
>hardly anyone has heard of now."

"Pleased to meet you. Hope you guessed my name"
