Secrets and Domes

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 don't think these are terribly difficult questions. I'd guess:

(1) A big animal ran into it. Or inhumi slaves smashed it to expose the 
small trees inside. Depending on how long it's been since the Neighbors 
left, it could be harder to explain why such a glass structure might 
still be standing.

(2) Because she knows it's a violated Neighbor nursery and she is not a 
Neighbor but knows enough about them, even if she may be on friendly 
terms with them.
