You're just gonna print the pathogens with the pathogen printer? You understand that getting the information doesn't mean you're able to produce it.
I need an article on how a 3d printer can be used to print an underground chemistry lab to produce these weapons grade pathogens
That's the thing though: a sufficiently advanced intelligence will know how. You don't have to.
I know how to build a barn. Doesn't mean I can do it by myself with no tools or materials.
Turns out that building and operating a lab that can churn out bespoke pathogens is actually even more difficult and expensive than that.
