Where dos the DNA go?

[yunyun]

So I've been wondering this for a while now, where does the DNA go when you aquire something? In like some of the books, i think it's mentioned that it's in their blood, but does that mean it's just randomly floating around the body or something?

KA answered this in her letters to the editor section of the old Animorphs website. All she said was that the DNA is stored at the subatomic level. Presumably it wouldn't be directly in the bloodstream as your own immune system would attack it, so it probably exists in some kind of transdimensional field that uses your nervous system to communicate with your brain.

To quote the Ax-man
The acquiring process absorbs only DNA, and that DNA is isolated, encapsulated within your own bloodstream in a super-low temperature--and
thus very stable--naltron molecule sphere."
Book 18

Sounds like DNA is in a little ball that's kepy in the bloodstream, which does seem ludicris as that leaves no direct way for the neural process of "concentrating" to activate it. Less of course it's somehow within the blood stream but tied to the to the nerves of the vessels.
How much/ how many of these there are is also a mystery. If you only have a molecule or single sphere, it doesn't matter how much blood you lose, almost impossible that anyone would find it (so the fear of doctors finding animal DNA in your blood is really nonexistant.)


Course it's 8 am. Everything seems a little ludicris

Ya, pretty much like a page out of the Star Trek Borg technology. Nanotechology. It was more described in ST: Voyager but when I first read that description that was my first thought.
