** Well we don't know they inhabited Earth only that they took some time to bury a bunch of their stuff here. For all we know for sure Earth was a backup plan in case something happened to the homeworld.

** Probably neurological changes, if the Chimeran virus works as a form of viral genetic engineering it's probably inserting extra bits into their DNA as it works. If a human were resistant to it, though not immune, at least in theory the body cells would go first with the immune system working overtime to try to protect the core systems like the heart, brain, and lungs which the body will fail without. Of course unlike a normal viral agent the goal of the Chimeran virus is not to force cells to produce viruses instead of reproducing normally but to force them to produce Chimeran cells instead of human ones so when the immune system finally fails it doesn't result in death just infection of the brain that will slowly replace the human nervous tissue with Chimeran equivalent only retaining hardwired details or if they're lucky some memory storage that wasn't intentionally rewritten to make room for combat programming and such.

* What confuses me is the Chimeran virus. How does it just make people not people anymore? Nathan Hale and Daedalus clearly had some ability to resist the hive mind and communicate with humans. Why can't anyone else still express their former selves? Just what, exactly, erases their former identities?
