===What was the process by which Survivor #59 - Maggie Young's powers were transferred?=== The process was developed by the doctors I'd given earlier (don't have their two names on me!) and is referred to as the Vector Process. The vector is seemingly what you refer to as Godlike Energy - believed to be an organism that does not cause disease itself but which spreads infection by conveying pathogens from one host to another. Species of mosquito, for example, serve as vectors for the deadly disease Malaria. This sense of "biological vector" is the primary one in epidemiology and in common speech. <br> (Previous to the Maggie Young effort) In theory with regards to gene therapy, Godlike energy itself may serve as a vector, if it has been re-engineered and is used to deliver a gene to its target cell. A "vector" in this sense is a vehicle for delivering genetic material such as DNA to a cell. <br> This DNA by itself may be regarded as a vector, in this example particular when it was used for cell transformation. A vector in this sense is a DNA construct, such as a plasmid or a bacterial artificial chromosome, that contains an origin of replication. An appropriate replication origin causes a cell to copy the construct along with the cell's chromosomes and to pass it along to its progeny. A single cell that has been transformed with a vector will grow into an entire culture of cells, which all contain the vector, as well as any gene attached to it within the construct. Because the constructs can be extracted from the cells by purification techniques, transformation with a vector is a way of making a small number of DNA molecules in to a much larger one. <br> <br> Hence, the transference of abilities. <br> If this is the case scientists had planned to observe Maggie while induced into a new Godlike gestation phase again. Following the experiment assuming it's successful the subject could retain the vector as well. Though they had been asked to erradicate it by the parent and guardians.
