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.

a few points. I feel some of us are complicating things, myself included. I believe the troubled Chenile is on Blue when Jahlee feeds on her drunk. She and Auk have been freed off camera by Silk, and Auk repairs the lander. Chenille's children have been killed and as in Long sun she is drunk with grief when Jahlee feeds on her. this has nothing to do with jahlee's mother and explains the lander at the end of rttw - the same one broken on green.
my theory of the tree and vine relationship is simple - the trees are tools of instant speciation by consumption and destructive hybridization. They eat and spit out hybrids based off the original food, killing the host in most cases. The island Horn falls into the pit on is made up of giant trees, but this is revealed in a different chapter with horror.
The vines were once plain vines. The essence of the trees they lived off of leeched some of that ability to interact with living matter to the lianas. The vines on the trees have not been introduced to human genetic matter yet and as such are still just vines. Generations that feast on humans become more human and are the sentient inhumi, who birth more inhumi.
