"Oh, there were safeguards. Lots of them. But they don't matter anymore because Omnydine is dead. You see, the Pathogen were almost perfect. Almost. But they were getting too smart. Omnydine had to can the project. They disposed of the Pathogen on the same planet where they disposed of all of their other extra sensitive projects. And they interacted with something there. They broke free of their imprisonment, and somehow they formed some kind of mind. They called it the Evolved Intelligence, or the EI. It's like the Pathogen hive mind. When the next Omnydine ships disposed of a sensitive project, the Pathogen hitched a ride. It took over Omnydine from the inside out, like a real disease. Then it came after the rest of us."
