The Secret

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.

Maybe I'm having a Senior Moment (more and more since I passed 50), but did=20
we ever "decide" what the Big Inhumi Secret is? Surely it's not what Jahlee=20
tells Nettle, that they get their intelligence from our blood; we've known=20
that all along.
	My guess would be that The Secret is the actual and true way that inhumi=20
get from Green to Blue, though we're never told what that is.
	But what have I forgotten.
