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.

Those humans who prey on other humans generally rely on stealth and deception.

The warlords the Rajan encounters following his return to Blue prey on
other humans, without necessarily relying on stealth and deception.
Horn's experiences on Blue might lead us to think of the inhumi as
sneaky ninjas or stealthy pickpockets, but Auk's experiences with them
on Green might lead to a different interpretation.

Of course characters in BotSS travel to the Whorl (Horn's walk in) and
even as far as Nessus (inhuma included) without spacecraft. They don't
take their bodies, though, and I thought the inhumi claimed to fly
between Green and Blue, when the time was right, in a very literal
sense--like Dr Doolittle's moth flying to the moon.

Are there so few inhumi on Blue that we should be looking for an
explanation as to why there are so few inhumi on Blue?

Nate.
