IGJ: altar scene

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.

The same one and many is seen in the first paragraph of Nightside.
	I'd say that the Outsider comes with His retinue, which is the angels and
the dead saints. But a hint of the trinity cannot be excluded.=20
