Subject: (whorl) Teleporting inhumi

Patera Nutria: no, I don't think the inhumi are
teleporting from Green to Blue and then back again. 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.
