godling as assassin of Silk

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.

My opinion I suggested in an earlier post.  I think the godlings message did
not change until after Horn had interfaced with the godling.  I think Horn
gave a report of the (sorry) state of Blue/Green.  I think at this time Silk
took control of the Passilk mainframe entity and wrote off Blue/Green and
began the mission of preparing to leave the whorl and look for a better
location.
