The metavirus is everywhere. Anywhere life exists, the metavirus is there,
too, propagating through it. Originally, it was spread around on comets.
That's probably how life first came to the Earth, and that's probably how the
metavirus came here also. But comets are slow, whereas radio waves are fast.
In binary form, a virus can bounce around the universe at the speed of light.
It infects a civilized planet, gets into its computers, reproduces, and
inevitably gets broadcast on television or radio or whatever. Those
transmissions don't stop at the edge of the atmosphere -- they radiate out into
space, forever. And if they hit a planet with another civilized culture, where
people are listening to the stars the way Rife was doing, then that planet gets
infected, too. I think that was Rife's plan, and I think it worked. Except
that Rife was smart -- he caught it in a controlled manner. He put it in a
bottle. An informational warfare agent for him to use at his discretion. When
it is placed into a computer, it snow-crashes the computer by causing it to infect itself with new viruses. But it is much more devastating when it goes
into the mind of a hacker, a person who has an understanding of binary code
built into the deep structures of his brain. The binary metavirus will destroy
the mind of a hacker."
