Sure the Chimera already linked telepathically but killing the leader doesnt destroy the Chimera anymore. Daedalus made sure of that by adding Primarchs and Overseers. And since their are so many, its impossible to wipe out the Chimera now by killing leaders. U kill Daedalus in Resistance 2 but the Chimera are still alive right? Like what i think happened right is that the 3rd race was fascinated by Genetics. Almost everything was based on Genetic Engineering for them. So they when they created the Chimeran Virus during the Civil War, they, yes this will sound crazy, made the Virus in such a way that it was Sentient. That's right, the Chimeran Virus is sentient. I mean it makes sense, in Resistance the Gathering Storm, Daedalus says he cannot tell wether he has manipulated the Virus to his bidding or if the it is the other way around. Then he thinks he has manipulated the Virus then goes on to think what if the virus is making him think that. It also says that the Virus gave him knowledge of the Chimera so i think this is what happened. The Virus was first injected into 3rd Race Warriors to make Super Soldiers. But they made the mistake of making the Virus Sentient. So this is what happened, the very first strand of Chimeran Virus, the original Chimeran Virus was injected into the Brother of the Chimeran Leader which will most likely be in R3. The Virus saw its host a suitable mind and after the War, sought more, so it poisoned his mind and mutated his body until he turned into the first Chimera. The Pure Chimera's DNA were what the Chimeran virus was based on. Since the Third Race possessed some Psychic Ability, the First Chimera used those Psychic powers to manipulate more strands of the Chimeran Virus and make any other strains it saw fit. Eventually, the psychic state of the Virus moved out of a Biological stage and out into the brain. It forced the Chromosomes of the Alien's body to shape into any way it saw fit. Until it found a from similar to that of Daedalus only with a smaller head and some Arms and legs. It could connect with anything else that was infected with the new Virus and enter the mind of any Chimeran Creature. So during the War, it led the Chimera, but when the Alien Armada arrived at Earth to destroy the Chimera with the Prometheus Weapon, they knew the attack would be useless if the leader was not neutralized cause he could just manipulate more Chimeran Strains. So they killed him in the tower, hence the real reason for the Invasion, or so they though, before he could truly die and his conscious get destroyed, he transferred himself into the body of a Pure Chimera since technically, they share the same DNA or gene that allows him to control Chimera and he waited for the Firing, after that, the Pure Chimera got Frozen in time and found in Bryce Canyon several Million years later. So when Dr. Malikov extracted DNA from that particular DNA, the Conscious, which had survived saw its chance, it moved itself to the Virus in the "vaccine" until it was injected into our own John Adam Shepherd. Once inside him, it poisoned his mind, and turned him into Daedalus. That is why the Chimera accept him as their leader. And all the while "Daedalus" was sleeping, the Angels took over but they were too stupid to figure what would happen if even one of them died. Originally, they served the same purpose as Overseers but they controlled 4 times as many units. Daedalus saw his past mistakes and instituted Primarchs and Overseers should something happen to him again. And if they have to take control, it would be harder to defeat the Chimera. Also, when Hale defeated Daedalus and went to touch it to see if he was still alive, he had nearly completed his transformation, so when u see all that green mist thing come out or whatever, it was really the Consciousness of the Virus, moving into Hale's mind, that is why when he got up, he began to look at his arms and hands in a funny way as if he had never had them and that explains a little bit of the ending. I've written to much so i will tell the rest of my theories later.
