In the episode, Carson told the following to Rodney:
Now consider the fact that, "like all of [Michael's] creations, [Carson] is open to [Michael's] influence."
Since Michael is able to influence Carson, was it necessary to kill people in order to coerce his help?
My first thought was that Carson was just lying. I distrusted him the moment he was discovered.
The second thought was that maybe the "influence" could make you perform simple or maybe lightly complex actions, but not something as highly complex as genetic engineering.
The third thought is that they are just false, implanted memories.
Thoughts?
I refused at first; but then one day he brought another prisoner into my cell – a young lady, couldn't have been more than twenty years of age ... (he gazes at the floor, his face haunted by the memory) ... and he killed her in cold blood right in front of my eyes. He said every day I refused to help, he'd kill another just like her. From that moment on, I co-operated.
