Unfortunately, many of them obviously aren't replacements for apostrophes and some of them are critical to the meaning of the text. For example, it isn't obvious what symbol was intended for "replace it with [�] to indicate that a section has been removed." An ellipsis, perhaps? eta: Some more pages with lots of bdqms are http://www.orionsarm.com/page/504 Dirty Hands - Pt 1 of 3 http://www.orionsarm.com/page/517 Dirty Hands - Pt 2 of 3 http://www.orionsarm.com/page/547 Dirty Hands - Pt 3 of 3 RE: Proof-reading EG - selden - 09-02-2016 http://www.orionsarm.com/eg-article/4a13ee2483366 Wormhole Termini Some wormholes are controlled by a dedicated/slaved transapient AI system probably should be replaced by something like Some wormholes are controlled by a dedicated non-conscious transapient AI system RE: Proof-reading EG - selden - 09-02-2016 http://www.orionsarm.com/eg-article/4fe926ed8ac05 Evanescence many disappearances of Terragen factions should be many disappearances on Terragen factions RE: Proof-reading EG - selden - 09-03-2016 http://www.orionsarm.com/eg-article/464b88ed2c319 Ferjik, Ken culminating in the political-educational simulation Cuba (2096). should be culminating in the political-educational simulation Cuba (127).

Near the end it also says "someone with the SNARE package can jump from SI:0.8 to SI:2.99 in a few seconds" suggesting that a full S3 ascension is unlikely.) the transcended beings who result is biased should be the transcended beings who result are biased further nanocyborgize it's host should be further nanocyborgize its host |
