short story 11: trip, trap

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.

Except that both Finch and Garth have an incentive to lie about what happened to their respective superiors in order to further their careers.

Just so we're clear, in your interpretation, who exactly kills the traki and how?

Thanks,
