<DIV>Reading through RttW last night, and came across this quote by Windcloud
at Horn's trial: "I was one of those who boarded your whorl when it neared our
sun. In the Whorl, I made the acqaintance of many of your race, and I have
known others since, on both the whorls we once called ours."</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>This confirms that Neighbors were certainly present on the Whorl, but it
doesn't explain the mechanism.</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I think they must have got there in a spacecraft
of some kind, since they also appear to have infected the Whorl with
inhumi. The expression "when it neared our sun" suggests the Whorl had not
yet fully arrived in the system. We know the Neighbours had
spacecraft, as they could not have got to Green without them.</FONT></DIV>
