But they always act like nannies, so maybe the perception that there is a difference is flawed? Since Wolfe said that if Typhon had known anything about the inhumi he would have been quite against them, maybe this also shows up in a special directive, as you suggest, but not specifically "inhumi" just "non-human" (which would cause lander monitor to ignore chems) or "alien." =mantis= ---
