Scylla & Oreb

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.

Andrew asked:

>>Forgive a newbie for rehashing old hash, but the archives are a bit
chaotic on Scylla & Oreb. Is this a plausible reading:

Scylla possesses Oreb at the very beginning of NTLS, just as Silk is about
sacrifice him (her?):<<

Scylla possessed Oreb when Silkhorn sacrificed at the Grand Manteion, just
before being captured by Hari Mau (RTTW, 356). That is why Oreb disappeared
for almost a year after Silkhorn was brought to Gaon--Scylla was looking for
a glass so she could be uploaded again, lest she be trapped in Oreb.
