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.

Maybe Roy will chime in on this.

Well, he *did* kidnap her. The very requirement to kidnap someone 
assumes that no one could be procured to go willingly.

I'm not sure it is obvious. I don't think he ultimately presents 
Chenille. So, if she was vital...
If Tartaros needed any woman (as his statement implied) why not Hy?
