I am not quite so fluent on Short Sun issues but this is exactly my own theory. I must
peruse your other thoughts about Inhumi with careful attention.
One can postulate about unmentioned gelatinous secretions and pressure equalizers and
biological heat and oxygen reserves to explain unassisted bio-space travel until the cows come
home.
But my own first theory upon encountering such inexplicable contradictions and conunundrums
in Wolfe stories is: *Somebody is lying*. I think following that simple rule can take you far.
p.s. I think Krait is the name you were missing.
