Some Day They’ll Want Us

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.

confirms what the previous paragraphs have already hinted at: that
Number 5 has become his own father. The unique, intelligent young man,
whose life we have for a little while lived, has ceased to exist. Worse
still, he has become the thing he hates. Loss of the Self is, perhaps,
the ultimate horror.
