(blue) Notes from a 2nd reading [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.

This seems likely, especially given the implausability of Mucor swimming to
the island on her own. Either Seawrack or some other agent of the Mother.
Question is, why has Mucor allied herself with an agent of the Mother?

<g> Did I really need to state in advance that the list isn't exhaustive?
Just trying to foment some discussion on this strangely quiet list.
