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.

Their memories have been tinkered with in order for them to put their 
personal lives behind, but there is no suggestion that they have had the 
Typhons' appearances erased - why would they do that, it would only detract 
from the Typhons' glory.
