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.

Hethor mentions the name of his ship (can't remember what it was), 
and Jonas says that his ship was called "The Fortunate Cloud", as 
far as I recall. The idea that there is just one ship only comes up 
in UOTNS, and IMO it's a new idea Wolfe had for UOTNS, not part of 
the earlier volumes. Or maybe this just refers to the Yesod run - 
ie it's the only ship to cross between universes.

Jonas is indeed not like Sidero, but remember that Sev also sees 
robots on the Ship who he thinks are more like Jonas would once 
have been.
