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.

Ah. It's from when Marble was killing Musk, LS3: 3. "Her hands, the bony
blue-veined hands of an elderly bio, glowed crimson in the flames."

As for the rest . . . I'll save it for another day. But do you really think
that Hammerstone fell in 'love' with a chem "girl" he described as "pretty
as a picture", who had hands that looked like the bony blue-veined hands of
an elderly bio?
