I'm talking to npal here. I just want to make this point that I don't think a Dues Ex Machina has anything to to do with the internal workings of what happens. In otherwords, it can make sense. It is loigcally possibly. But that's not the point. In The Andromeda Strain, a lethel virus is suddenly rendered non-lethal by a random mutation which apparently affects every existing virus particle instantaneously. Now we're already told that the virus mutates frequently and regularly but it's still a pretty blatant Deus Ex Machina.

You guys have you're own discussion by yourselves. There are to many responses for me to get involved.
