Question for The Man from Hosts -- spoilers for Hosts (major) and Ground Zero (minor) - Wapitikev - 08-07-2009
Question for The Man:
Just finished Hosts, again, and I had a question regarding the number of Unity members necessary to guarantee the virus would mutate into an airborne strain.
The Unity seemed to be uncertain that it could occur with only 7 and were overjoyed to get Kate in as the 8th member.
As the series progresses the number 7 (Infernals, Septimus Order, Weezy refers to it being mentioned often in the Compendium, etc.) seems to be increasingly involved; a "rule of 7", if you will.
Was it intentional or simply coincidence that the Unity Virus' airborne mutation was certain with 8, not 7, members?

Sounds like a change that could be made in the movie script...the "Subway Saviour" scene screams for the big screen.
