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.

Typhon's children mention having a life before being scanned into the 
Whorl. Cilinia/Scylla was entering puberty.

How come Cilinia's business with monster-Scylla is a treason to Typhon 
and then Typhon allows her to be scanned into the Whorl as a Scylla?
