Inhumi in the Whorl

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.

Well, we know they travelled between planets somehow, and to the Whorl, and 
perhaps to wherever they live now.  They detected the Whorl as it approached 
their solar system, and visited it, bringing with them inhumi.  And we know 
they built great structures on Green.  Why should we not expect them to have 
spaceships, or at least to be able to make them if needed?

Not sure what you mean about waiting for the Whorl to leave.
