Exogenesis

Marcus: All we need is one of them to leave the room. Then there will be only one man with the gun. Franklin: Excuse me, where I come from, one man from three leaves two. Marcus: Where I come from is a far more interesting place.

This episode contains examples of:

• Belligerent Sexual Tension: Ivanova reacts rather strongly when she thinks Marcus is trying to come on to her.
• Drugs Are Bad: The Lurker who died was a drug user, which caused melding with a Vindrizi to be fatal.
• Not a Date: Ivanova invites Corwin to her quarters for some coffee. He initially thinks she's coming on to him, and isn't sure what to do about it.
• Schmuck Bait: Marcus escapes his jailer by pretending that his collapsible pike is some sort of medical scanner, and that you activate it by staring down the hole at the end. Pow.
• Photographic Memory: The Vindrizi remember things all the way back to 100,000 years ago.
• Transferable Memory
