Was this just meant to be left >hanging,\nor\nhad they served their purpose and their time was finished?  But that\ndoesn't\nquite fit, because Moly left the whorl with the humans.  Would they still\nneed chems after they had settled on Blue?  I'm also unclear on why the\nchems have such human personalities if they're just machines.\n\n-Steve"

OK, by the numbers\n\n1)  Typhon made contact with Inhumi, while his interstellar empire was at\nit's glory\n\n2) agreed to send \"tribute\" of human cargo\n\n3) WHOOPS!  did he forget to tell the Inhumi of the LEGIONS of mechanical\ninvasion warriors he'd be sending?  Must have slipped his mind :) !\n\nso basically, the whole whorl was a Trojan horse ... a scheme of Typhon's to\ntake over the Inhumi with an  invasion force that could dominate, one that\nthe Inhumi wouldn't have power over ... and that's why the chems have human\npersonalities .... because once the humans were devoured, they'd have to be\nin charge of the campaign\n\nOK, that's it for now ..
