Malrubius' ghost

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.

Don pops up. (whack him! quick!)

I see no reason to doubt your conclusion since Silk/Malrubius appears=20
to Sev before the aquastor.  Besides, if Silk can travel through time=20
as well as space (and in an expanding universe wouldn't time travel=20
necessarily involve motion?) it is possible that he is Malrubius in=20
actuality.  Even if this isn't the case, I see no real contradiction.
