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 Autarch is played by Dr. Talos as is the Archangel Gabriel. I find this to be especially significant

given Talos' name as a mythological monster. Talos' character has preternatural knowledge of 

cosmic history and of Earth. Add to that his amazing literary and stagecraft gifts and his powers of

beautification and I find it easy to associate him with other mythological god/demon/monster

characters.

Despite the mythological connection of angels to demons (cognate to pagan gods), I know some find

it difficult to consider that the lofty archangel-name Tzadkiel might be related to some of the more 

loathsome beings found on Urth.  But for me, Dr. Talos playing Gabriel is another clue to the connection.
