redux on objections

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.

As I said before, three years, at the time of Blanko's war. (IGJ, 294)

oscillation, sometimes close, sometimes far, but that has nothing to do with
its orbital period.<<

No, Green is _not_ always visible in Blue's sky.

    "Night had come already to the eastern sky, scattering the short suns of
other whorls across its black velvet. Soon Green would rise, almost a second
sun, yet baleful as a curse . . ." (Exodus, 383)
