"Infection"

Developments

• Doors has Dr. Park engineer the bacteria to remove the portions deadly to humans and retain those deadly to Taelons for future use as a weapon. They don’t tell anyone else in the Liberation about their work.
• Zo’or’s face exhibits Boone’s features after the Taelon is injected with antibodies from Boone. This resembles what happened to Rho-ha in "Pandora’s Box" and "Law & Order."
• Ne’eg is killed by the bacteria, having “passed to the next level” as Zo’or puts it.

Backstory

The Taelons

• Individuals
  
  • Kee’sha’s laboratory is located in Athens, Greece.
• Physiology
  
  • Taelon immune systems produce antibodies.
• Technology
  
  • CVI: The CVI allows an Implant to increase or decrease his or her metabolism.
  • The homeship can project a virtual glass shield around an adjacent area.
  • Zo’or uses a portal to escape the lab. It is unclear to where this portal connects.

The Probe

• The probe contained a bacteria deadly to Taelons (and, as it turns out, humans) as an offensive weapon. The bacteria were designed to be impervious to any antibodies the Taelon body could produce. The bacteria are also airborne.

Miscellaneous

• Biological weapons were used during the SI War.
• Lincoln Hills, New Hampshire, was the site of a U.S. Marine base closed during the military downsize after the Taelons’ arrival.
• Some white racists argue that the Taelons’ arrival proves the superiority of whites because all the high-powered Taelons on Earth have light-colored “skin.”
