[ WP ] Doctors have found out the use of the appendix , and it is not good .

`` So what if they get out of control, you know colonize the stars, build antimatter mines, how are you going to explain this little experiment of yours to our ever so understanding government?'' 
 
 `` Well, its easy actually. Like all free intelligence it has a cut off switch, and a brilliant one if I might say so myself.'' 
 
 He stood there, silent, waiting for the next obvious question as if to milk every possible glimmer of achievement out of the air. Too proud to simply carry on I guess. Brilliant and so narcissistic at times. 
 
 `` Well?'' I asked. `` How does it work?'' 
 
 `` I showed you the anatomy once, did you bother to place it in your high recall space?'' 
 
 `` Of course, I do for all your projects. They keep me up at night half from wonder the other from terror.'' 
 
 `` Good. Find the lower abdomen, a part labeled'Appendix'. It's a very small part and pretty innocuous. They do n't even have a concrete reason for its existence yet, just a few theories. Leftover evolution, bah, you know how long I spent on that particular bit of genius?'' 
 
 `` Alright, I've got it. Looks like part of their digestions but not directly a piece of the main tube. Almost like one of the other bladder organs sitting above the rest.'' 
 
 `` Exactly. Their biosphere revolves mainly around bacteria with billions of viruses in there to add to the entertainment factor and move genetic material around.'' 
 
 `` So they are right then? It does contain bacteria? Can they kill them?'' I knew how his planet worked, he had sent me endless packets of data on the thing. I had to admit it was intriguing but a little frightening. Species creation was rarely done and required more permits than rebuilding a galaxy. This was strictly illegal. 
 
 `` Yes but the bacteria are at the moment useless. They require a key and one that happens to be contained in their genome itself. You see a virus has the ability to transfer genetic material using..'' 
 
 I nodded while half listening. I knew how basic biological interactions occurred but one thing that never ceases to please the dillusionally brilliant is the chance to teach another. It made him easier to bear and cost me nothing but time. 
 
 ``.. and then the virus removes the last part of the toxins DNA sequence from the host and implants it in the bacteria through the normal infection routes. They think half of their DNA is useless but in really most of it is safeguards if anything ever needs changing. Then the bacteria become unstoppable poison creating machines and destroy the host very quickly. It is incurable as sepsis and full body infection set in.'' 
 
 `` Crazy... storing the final key to destruction in the host itself and putting a safe harbor for the manufacturing plant directly inside. Its almost as bad as the neural safeguards implanted inside our own intellects.'' 
 
 `` Yours perhaps'' he said with a slow grin.
