1. 'Cell' is an old term

Those of us who remember the cold war might remember that we were told the 'local communists form cells - - in order to take over the USA!!'

Same shit, different boogeyman...

3. Can't be.

The whole point of "cell" is it was supposed to be part of the larger organism.

7. Prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells.

We are dealing with prokaryotic cells that have no nucleus

5. Only if it's not in an enclave

Outside of an enclave, it's a cell. Otherwise, it's a "training camp".

6. How does one become a "sleeper"?
