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.

        Another question one must ask, is that of the matter explaining, how
does Quetzal know so much? He is inhumi and the Prolocutor, but does this
explain why he knew Pas' plans or even that Pas was dead, especially since
there have been no theophanies for 30 years. Also when Pas' theophany
occured he was able to hear the instrucions that the god gave also, so he
too is able to communicate with the gods even though he is a stowaway? I
would like to know some opinions on these matters, thanks.
