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.

I don't think chems have anything like what we would call sex. The
only thing that disqualifies a chem from seeing the gods is actually
making a child, which takes a year.

Lemur has served under two Caldes. That surely puts his rise to power
earlier than that of Quetzal. And I take it he deceived them, and the
various commissioners through who he governed.
