Just a couple plot questions... [spoilers]

[Renegade_]

that reminds me of another plot-anomaly:

Spoiler below!

If the Turngaait can manipulate Phillips mind, why was it not able to predict/know that Phillip's intentions were to kill it. Surely, an all-knowledgeable being would be smart enough to monitor Phillip as he wrote the e-mail and prevent him from doing or saying anything destructive. Phillip claims the e-mail reached the surface, but is he that naive? Surely the Turngaait would not allow it..
Unless perhaps it did know Phillip would send the e-mail, and perhaps knew that more would come to investigate afterwards, giving it more hosts to infect....
