Israeli pilot Rafi Marek was 90 seconds into his flight from Mombasa, Kenya, at about 3,000 ft., when he felt an unexpected thump. He thought it was the impact of a bird hitting the fuselage of his Arkia charter Boeing 757 carrying 261 Israelis home from a beach vacation. But he wondered if something far more frightening might have been after his plane when crew members spotted two white stripes of smoke streaming past the jet's tail, only 100 yards away.

Bionix’s place as part of the AOI trilogy is demonstrated mainly through the skits. The Reverend Do Good, a character who appeared briefly on Mosaic Thump, is now given three separate skits, and last CD’s recurring subject, Ghost Weed, also makes an appearance, as does the voice of Spitkicker.com. These elements do just enough to reinforce the cohesion between the albums, allowing them to feel distinct, yet at the same time part of the larger trilogy...
