I know that, I was just summarizing things as succinctly as possible. And even then I don't see how time warps factor into genetic science on ANY level. The series had me at animals warping into monsters, it didn't need time shenanigans.

Well, Eve had all sort of crazy powers in the first game, and we saw some more powerful mitochondria forms in the second game, with the ability of creating giant nest like creatures, just like the ones shown in the trailer (remember the Coccon in the Ark?).

So, if there's a link to the previous games, maybe mitochondrial powers have evolved  to the point where mitochondrial beings are able to control time or matter? with the energy controlling abilities that they had, it seems kinda "logical".

That's REEEEEEEEALLY stretching disbelief. All that mitchondria are capable of doing is generating chemical energy, period. In the previous two games the most you would see is creatures rapidly mutating or people getting set on fire due to their mitochondria generating absurd amounts of energy. Heck, in the original novel there weren't mutating animals at all. Makes me wonder if Sena (a lecturer of microbiology) would be going "WTF?" at this. Then again Square has repeatedly reminded people that this is a SIDE STORY and not a sequel.

Dude, I know all of this, Parasite Eve was one of the reasons I went into Genetics in the first place  

Even then, if you take in consideration the vast amount of energy that ATP production and massive consumption that happened in the first two games,  it's also a huge stretch to kinda explain the energy propagations that happened in the first two games, with PE2 being the biggest case. 

As for the original novel, I loved it as well, especially the relationship that establishes with the scientist and the being created, the original ultimate being. 

Being a Side Story doesn't take from the fact that this game will have a lot of tie-ins with the previous PE lore, heck, even Nomura said it himself. So there might be an explanation for the Time Warps and such.

Not so much, the human body emits ENORMOUS amounts of energy. Have everything emit energy at once and you'd burn. PE2 stretched things in a reasonable direction due to technology being involved. Time Warps and stuff are barely science fiction because SCIENCE is barely involved; most of that came from a small theory Einstein had about time and space forming a continuum that bends, arcs, or warps from the observer's point of view and even then most stuff involving time travel is technobabble (like Doctor Who for instance). Heck, I'm actually flabbergasted as to why Square thought cramming time shenanigans in was a good thing despite the fact that the series already had a foundation that was properly set up and fine as it was.

The human body emits a huge amount of energy, but nowhere near the level that PE had shown Human Spontaneous Combustion is a possible theory, but that would involve "burning" the entire ATP stock at the same time, while the mitochondria has a continuous output feed of ATP by consuming massive levels of Glucose. Possible but hardly, hardly feasible, that's why what happens in PE is in the same category of science-fiction as Time Warps
