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.

Sorry, I am still not buying it; to far-fetched if you will. Anyone else have issues with how the inhumi got?INSIDE the Whorl? Seems to hurt the tale a bit for me; too contrived.

A variation on the Horn/Silk trick would do it. Find some dying inhumi, allow them to possess people on the Whorl (whose own souls are dying, if that matters). Let them get access to landers, make trips to Green for some real inhumi, and shuttle some back who have fed on humans, etc.
