I dunno, I could definitely see the Precursors engineering an unknown strand of bacteria to infect and slowly mutate anything not native to the planet as a first line of defense. That the infected invaders would become warpers is anyone's guess, but the very fact that there's a bacterial life form that ONLY has an effect on creatures not native to the planet seems unbelievable to me..

Just saying: If I was part of an advanced alien race and I had the power to do it, and wanted to stay hidden.. a bioengineered bacteria that inhabited EVERYTHING and infected instantly, and mutated the trespassers would be the way to go.
