	In other words, when Blue becomes a Utopian society the inhumi will,
after sufficient feeding on and exposure to the ways of happy humanity,
become loving cohabitors on Blue? This seems so improbable to me; so much
sweetness and light. Besides, how is this peaceful ending a threat to the
inhumi, so much so that they would actively seek the destruction of the
one(?) man carrying the secret on Blue?
