The only other time anyone actually spoke directly about it was when Nadya recounted what happened aboard the ship. During her story, she used only the terms "something" and "it". Interestingly, in the novelization, the virus is referred to as "the Intelligence."

Neither of them acknowledge this, though the novel adaptation has Steve realizing the hypocrisy of the criticism.
