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.

Interesting theory - and kind of sinister - instead of Silk conquering Pas
in Mainframe, Pas is secretly still around pulling all the strings.

But the Narrator can't be a complete reboot back to the Silk-23 back-up
data, because he still knows and is trying to avoid facing the fact that
Hyacinth is dead.

"I could not look upon Hyacinth, dead." - isn't that a line from a famous
poem (with someone else's name in for Hyacinth)?
