Meschia and Meschiane

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.

I missed that detail.  Do you have a reference?

By "related to the Neighbors" are you refering to the Narrator's ability
to walk between them, or that they are both lifeforms of the same
planet/ecosystem, or something else?
