Neighbours 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.

  Reading through RttW last night, and came across this quote by Windcloud at Horn's trial: "I was one of those who boarded your whorl when it neared our sun. In the Whorl, I made the acqaintance of many of your race, and I have known others since, on both the whorls we once called ours."

  This confirms that Neighbors were certainly present on the Whorl, but it doesn't explain the mechanism.

I think they must have got there in a spacecraft of some kind, since they also appear to have infected the Whorl with inhumi. The expression "when it neared our sun" suggests the Whorl had not yet fully arrived in the system.  We know the Neighbours had spacecraft, as they could not have got to Green without them.
