Unmanned Autarch

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.

     Yep, we specifically learn that Ymar and the Autarch's predecessor were
also unmanned, as well as the other autarchs in between. What about Typhon?
     BTW, someone in _Citadel_ refers to the Autarch as "Legion," because he
is many (Biblical reference, Luke 32, I think). Is this his real name? If
not, what is?
