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.

But there is. We've been down this road before. Right at the
very end of The Shadow of the Torturer, Jonas tells the
story of the woman who comes back with space with a handful
of magic beans, and threatens to throw them into the ocean.

Erebus and friends aren't genetically modified humans like
Baldanders, they're alien lifeforms. That grow.
