The Big Connection

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.

That's it! Forget _Fifth_Head_. The connection is between
_Castleview_ and _Long_Sun_! Pike fathers the Manteon's own
Mordred with his sybyl/"sister", and then returns from the dead
at the Manteon's hour of need.  And Rose makes a point of
protecting and caring for his knife (Excaliber?).

Oh, the wheels within wheels.
