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.

Craig Christensen,

Re: little banished Tzadiel at Brookside the Madregot.  Why was she
banished?  For being naughty, somehow.  It seems that after she has
proven herself reformed she might be invited back in.

Re: early history of the Claw.  It was carried by the soldiers for a
time and then it came into the possession of the field nurses--the
easy answer here is that the soldiers were wiped out.  The field
nurses (Red Cross girls) then evolved into the Pelerines.  The relic
was eventually encased, we don't know when, probably in the first
few centuries.

Re: the mysterious woman Severian sees.  We do not know her name in
reality, but in the play "Eschatology and Genesis" she is the
Contessa and she describes (in the play) how she saw a strange man.
Compare the sections.
