Short Story 38: It's Very Clean

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 also suspect a reference to _The Stars My Destination_ (where Fourmyle
presents the men with an alluring android who they discover is a real 
woman at the end of the night) and perhaps _Metropolis_,

Cheers, David Duffy.
