Like a good Neighbor

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.

Yes.  As I understand it, if that happens they will then prey on unintelligent animals and regress to a similar state themselves, like they were on Green before the Neighbours came.
Of course hus at least are moderately intelligent (as smart as an ape or better?) so the inhumi may not revert entirely to dumb animals, if, say, draining hus leaves them intelligent enough to fly, or if hus or similar creatures survive on Green.
