Birds, bees, mind-wipes

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.

Why do you believe that?

There?s some evidence against it, I think.  Hammerstone?s disquisition on officers and men.  And the soldiers don?t sleep as people do, and they don?t *remember* sleeping as people do, or think it?s odd.

Who was scanned to make Olivine, and how was the scan arranged?  Chems talk to Silk about reproduction once or twice, and nobody mentions this part.
