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.

Yeah his powers seem to be telekinetic in nature.  I know he breaks
Severians staff and animates the corpse.  Telekinesis would surely
allow these acts as they are physical manipulation.  Does he do
anything else extraordinary that Telekinesis wouldnt explain?
