Like a good Neighbor

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 thought Krait's similarity to Sinew was due to that feeding near reproduction cycle, but then later when Jahlee resembles Chenille and is drunk its because she fed on the greiving Chenille who was released from Green, the lander repaired, and escaped to blue to mourn the murder of her children (she indulges in drink and drugs when bothered, from Long Sun).

I don't know.
