I also agree that \nWolfe has a more obscure secret that would destroy the inhumi.  \n\nSimply warning humans that if they protect each other and stop the inhumi \nfrom drinking their blood will solve the inhumi problem will not work.  How \nmany groups of people of 10 or more have you ever seen that all will agree on \none thing and abide by it?  People already know the inhumi are a danger and \ndon't bond together in unity.  How would telling them that the inhumi will \nbecome less intelligent and more like animals cause them to protect \nthemselves better?\n\nMy thought on how Patera Q came to the Whorl is that Horn's and Auk's landers \nmight not have been the first to leave the whorl.  They merely were the first \nwe and \nthey knew about.  The whorl could have arrived at the Blue many years earlier \nand Patera Q could have boarded the a lander and returned to the whorl.  I \ndoubt he was the only inhumi in the whorl.\n\nDennis/Endy\n\nHappiness is reading a good scifi book while listening to XTC  :)\n\n~~dancing us from the darkest night is the rhythm of love powered by the \nbeating of hearts~~  XTC\n\n*This is WHORL, for discussion of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun."
