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.

I've wondered about the speed they would be moving at. Even if they are dead, they would have had to launch from Green at a speed at least = escape velocity. Then you have Blue's velocity, unless they don't come at Blue from that angle. If they are slower than meteors, then it seems plausible that they could---somehow---avoid burning if alive and burn up if dead.
