Liberator is destroyed, the brain becomes unstable. This could be matched up with Avon's s4 behaviour (if you think he was irrational).
The Altas and their slaves were humanoid in appearance, so you could assume that the mental equipment was compatible. The defence mechanism makes the best plot device for the transfer as all three were affected by it.
