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.

The iNeighbours whom Horn/the Rajan meets certainly seem to be higher than
humans, but we should remember that they thought that humans would be
better able to cope with the inhumi threat than they did, so it may be that
it's just a matter of who we see. (They may have been wrong about that, of
course: It's likely that they were influenced by the example of Quetzal,
and it's possible that he isn't a typical inhumu because his source -
perhaps Pike - isn't a typical human.)
