Quetzal in orbit

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.

Charles Reed quotes:
Here are Gene Wolfe's own words, which you can find in volume
6 of the Whorl archives:  "Typhon did not know about the inhumi [and]
would have done everything possible to keep them out of the Whorl if he
had."

This puts a painful kink in my theories. Of course, even if Typhon did not
know the target planets were full of blood-sucking monsters (and I never
imagined he did) it does not mean he wasn't manipulated by Quetzal on Urth.
And based on Quetzal's statements in LS3:1 (Slaves of Scylla) that still
seems probable to me.

Still this hurts.
