While the neurological reprogramming of complex behavior is well documented even among earthly parasites (see Dicrocoelim; Entomophthora; Holy See; Sacculina; Toxoplasma; others), it should be emphasized that the cognitive abilities of infected "pilgrims" do not appear to be significantly impaired until infection renders them effectively immobile.

abstract	While the neurological reprogramming of complex behavior is well documented even among earthly parasites (see Dicrocoelim; Entomophthora; Holy See; Sacculina; Toxoplasma; others), it should be emphasized that the cognitive abilities of infected "pilgrims" do not appear to be significantly impaired until infection renders them effectively immobile. Victim's remain capable of intelligent conversation, complex problem-solving, and other hallmarks of legally competent adults. Areas in which mental faculties are impaired--unsupported beliefs in mystical spirits, cryptic behaviors such as "speaking in tongues," and even self-destructive acts born of a desire to give up their lives for their "god"--are well within the pale of mainstream religious practices around the world. While the agent does proliferate throughout the brain and central nervous system, its impact on CNS function is remarkably subtle until the tertiary stage. 1. * The enemy is solely interested in establishing local control, and has no interest in expanding beyond Manhattan (and perhaps its immediate environs); 2. * The bioweapon is still under development, and the enemy is not yet ready for a wide-scale release. This would suggest that the Ceph are practitioners of the "Precautionary Principle," and do not wish to globally release an agent that has not been thoroughly field-tested. In this case the limitations we have thus far observed would only be temporary, and the appearance of a truly infectious variant would herald the end of the prototyping stage.
