Science Fiction and Fantasy Question

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 welcome, I recently found it myself.

> It can?t really be.  The Whorl is a hollowed out asteroid, and has no
sails.  The Ship has symmetric decks and sails.  And the interior
descriptions do not match at all.

The interior could have been converted, and the exterior could simply be
used as one of the modules of The Ship, no?
