"Castaway" with Spoilers

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.

I must say I had the same reaction as Mantis, that the narrator was
female. Perhaps this is why the castaway would tend to open up to the
narrator while resisting his official debriefers.

It's a small world, but I wouldn't want to have to paint it.
