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.

"Pike's Ghost" went to Pike's room, wore his callote, made noise. The 
fighters with the Rajan on Green fought and killed inhumi there. If the 
the Rajan can astral-travel, so can the Neighbors. It is certainly not a

Why?? Do you think "boarded" has to mean walking up a ramp onto a ship 
as loved-one wave to you from the dock? Why can't boarded mean "got onto 
the ship by astral travel? You can't just limit terms to mean what you 
arbitrarily decide you want them to mean.

I don't believe there is any evidence on this either way. Most of the 
time Green was far from Blue and then at certain times of the year it 
was within a 100,000 miles. I'm sure the same was true for the Whorl 
regarding Green and Blue.
