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.

Xury,

Juturna, the undine who saved Severian in SHADOW and tried to drown
him in CLAW (probably the first time =3Dshe=3D met him) seems to have
gotten the idea of saving Severian the child while talking to
Severian the demigod at the deluge scene in URTH . . .

A simple reason why she would switch sides: we see in URTH that she
has survived the deluge and is happily munching fish.  So perhaps she
saw a short and unhappy life in store for herself if the Entropy side
won?  (The undines swim the corridors of time, as you know.) Will she
grow in size and power to take the place of Abaia, as Agia replaced
Vodalus?
