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.

Apparently the Ascension isn't repeated each time. I also get the sense 
that the Yesodis, or at least some faction of them, want to avoid the 
torturous part as much as possible, thus their use of eidolons to 
supplement purpose-made hierodules and other underpeople. This might 
explain why the semi-exiled Inire, himself a likely replicant, makes 
mastiff-men and anpiels for the Autarch's purposes, but the Cumaean and 
F, B, & O work through physically human agents.

I wonder which part of Tzadkiel is on which side.
