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?

"It means 'Ask the next question.' Ask the next question, and the one that follows that, and the one that follows that. It's the symbol of everything humanity has ever created." Theodore Sturgeon.
Sounds like a change that could be made in the movie script...the "Subway Saviour" scene screams for the big screen.
