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.

I suppose it would make sense that someone possessed by a dead god would appear dead.  Assuming a dead god can get the motivation together to do the possession.

I don?t see anything elaborate about the theory that Mucor is tracking Silk ? in fact it?s made pretty clear from subsequent events in the text.  Your theory involves a 43 year old one-eyed time travelling Silk who looks exactly like a 70+ year old Pike and wears his hat.  You don?t think that?s elaborate?
