those darned ambiguities

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.

Mssr. Newt, my memory fails also as to whether
Hyacinth was an engineered embryo, though Silk and
Chenille sure were. Anyone? How about a few characters
not much speculated on, or even, eek, _all_ the, uh
human Whorl denizens? (just spitballin here...)

And, yes, I too wondered about the deal w/Mucor and
those compliant fish. Maybe she grabbed them by their
poor li'l ganglia and popped them on out, but perhaps
she had already been in contact w/Seawrack or even the
fearsome(?)Mother, and all this was some foreshadowing
of the shadowy PTB of Blue.  No Doubt this will all
become crystal (using that advisedly ;) in upcoming
episodes and meticulous dissection >g<.  Hoo boy.
Happy eclipse, everyone, and best fishes-S.
