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.

But the presence of the breeding program reveals that the Whorl was
more than a zoo.  It seems more like an insurance policy of Typhons
that no he always have a kingdom and a people to rule.  Perhaps the
genetic experiments were a way to create a perfect host body ( Ive
said before that I think Piaton/Typhon is not his original body). I
once thought that maybe they were part of a plan to build an army and
Typhons goal was to conquer the Blue/Green system and the Nieghbors.
Of course he could couldnt go through his plans because of the
infighting of his own family and the Inhumi that already accomplished
it. This would fit with Tphon not knowing of the Inhumi confirmed by
Wolfe.
