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.

You're killing me Dan'l.  It's not that they grow up to be animals, its that they hybridize with a genetic template to survive and pass on the conjoined genetic material, something which IS seen in the mating of inhumi: for a sentient child to be born, the mother must have fed on a human (maybe an animal would do, but it wouldn't be an "intelligent" inhumi)  They are a tabla rasa of possibilities that conjoin with other, more potent blood.  vegetable become animal through transubstantiation, the meaning of the eucharist: grapes become blood, but not JUST any blood.  There is a eucharist scene, remember.  vegetable becomes animal in that transubstantiation.  Why is this so hard to see?
