If that were the case, Blue would be infested with them to a far greater degree than it is. I stick by my hypothesis, which is simply that the inhumi have been given a passive astral travel capacity, activatable only if a biological or honorary Neighbour is also present. This makes perfect sense textually; and teleportation adds nothing to my explanation of the Secret, the first explanation which is both fully accountable to the text and a sensible adumbration of the Secret as an offensive weapon. --Nick Gevers. ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
