Is this where they release the life ending microbe into the atmosphere wiping out the planet.
I stopped worrying about this one. Pathogens tend to track closely to their host, and are ill adapted to environments even slightly unlike their chosen host. You can’t share most sicknesses with your pets because your body temps are a few degrees apart, for example. So the chances of anything from millions of years before us being well suited enough to represent a threat to us seem minuscule ESPECIALLY compared to the world we wake up to each morning: where nine billion organisms just like us are out there breeding new potential threats.
