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.

You're missing my point. I put "face" in quotes because I don't
believe for a moment that the face is the source of Silk's charisma.
But I am suggesting that Typhon had the same persuasive/commanding
ability as Silk; that this was a genetically bred ability; and that
Typhon wanted to have it when he (via Pas) came to the Whorl's
destination.

And, yes, I did mean that Pas was to d/l into Silk.
