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.

The seal was intact when Silk and Hammerstone peeked through the door.  Silk noticed that the lights had come on indicating there was somebody inside (an awakened Sleeper or an intruder).  Then Hammerstone broke the seal so they could get in.

But Mamelta wasn?t the first Sleeper woken by Mucor, she just happened to be the one woken by her at that time.

And Mamelta wasn?t much interested in the embryos, either.  Her job was maintaining monitors and she immediately got on with it when she and Silk entered the lander which had been looted for embryos and cards.

I guess I?m a bigger fan of looking for realistic rather than symbolic contexts for events than many!
