Babbiehorn?: Was: a sincere question mostly for roy

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.

It?s not very different, surely?  The main difference is that she is not said to be transparent in the first episode, but maybe that?s because it?s brighter in the tunnel.  Besides, I don?t think she?s always transparent anyway; I don?t think it?s mentioned in other incidents.
Here he speaks and she vanishes.  In the first incident he blinks and she vanishes.  No slime, but that?s probably just the reflection of the tunnel lights.
