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 could have happened at any time the night chough perched in front of 
the right sacred window or monitor. It would have happened before Silk's 
story began. But evidence that Pas was talking through Oreb would be 
interesting.

No. He's been wiped from the Mainframe. But there are still parts of him 
in hiding all over the Whorl. We know he was possessing the old patera 
that Auk retrieves for Pas's resurrection. And we know that Pas had the 
power to keep the patera alive beyond the means of his body. Pas could 
easily hide in a disconnected Sacred Window or monitor for years. Or Pas 
could have fled into Oreb during the period that his family was hunting 
him, just as Scylla did.
