Typhon's vanity and Pas's Two Heads

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.

It's certainly one with a certain degree of plausibility.  However
remember that Paiton hated Typhon for what had been done to him.  The
stronger Piaton's influence the less I would expect "The Plan" to figure
in Pas' prorities.

Further there has been rebellion in Mainframe.  Other influences are
possible, perhaps even probable, but without clues we're left in the dark.
