How Does Q Know?

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.

Xury,

Another explanation for Quetzal knowing so much is that he's in contact
with other cities, and presumably has a spy network of his own.  See one
of my previous posts for a page cite.  Also keep in mind that alga's
theory that Quetzal has been on board from the start is, uhm,
controversial.  I for one think the _Whorl_ has been in Blue/Green for
about a hundred years, and Quetzal may have been on board for most of
that time.  Recall Pike's theory that demons had invaded the whorl.
