The Neighbors' other friends

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.

Another note on the Secret: does any human other than
Horn/Silk have the ability to travel astrally, surely
a rare gift from the Neighbors? In other words, is
there anyone else who can lead human expeditions to
attack the inhumi birthing pools on Green, once
Horn/Silk has departed? Well, the answer is yes, there
probably is such a person, probably several. Taal has
had direct dealings with the Neighbors. Windcloud
states that he has other human friends besides Horn.
They're around, and their numbers can easily be
augmented, now that (as of RTW) the Neighbors are
intervening directly in human affairs...
