The Secret: Equine Overkill

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 idea on the Secret.

If all of the inhumi who have human blood were taken on astral trips by
Horn/Silk or someone with equal astral travel abilities, and _left there_ as
both Jahlee and Juganu wanted, they would cease to be a danger, even if they
weren't killed where they slept.

Certainly the Neighbors also had the ability to do this.

Still doesn't make "a weapon too heavy to wield." That's the sticking point
for me on all these ideas.
