Typhon vs. Pas

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.

=46rom TBoTNS we know that Typhon is an extremely clever person, so he
probably just knew that it would be better for his avatar Pas to be
benevolent so that the cargo of the Whorl wouldn't not rise up against him.
And another possibility is that Typhon knew that if Pas was a 100% copy of
Typhon but digital, then wouldn't he naturally be a rival and usurp him if
ever possible?
