Marsch an assassin?

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.

Yes, and even if surface gravity were essentially the same, as for Mars
and Mercury, the difference in radius changes the perceived rise due to
curvature of that surface. St Croix and St Anne would need to be literally
identical twin planets.

Which I suppose is within the theme of the stories, but we must note that
the only exact duplicates of people spring from the experiments by Number
5's predecessors. What has Homeric Greek science done?
