Inhumi's secret and numbers on blue

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.

Other way around--typical visible meteors are pebbles. ?To judge by the
Wikipedia article, inhumi meteors would probably reach the surface of
Blue, though too broken-up to make craters.

I agree that Jahlee is probably lying, though. ?Most of the meteors Horn has
seen would be natural (unless the Blue-Green system is short of debris or
something). ?I'd think inhumi meteors would be amazing fireballs in the visible
and infrared ranges, not little?scratches (great word).
