The Story So Far
 t's
a hot summer night in the city, made hotter by a massive power failure.
A new hemorrhagic disease is afflicting people -- first a baby, then
a teenaged boy -- and you've been sent by your employer, Dr. Susan Lydell
of Mercy Hospital, to investigate.
You discovered that the victims acquired the disease from
a certain brand of bottled milk. When the hospital's emergency generator
failed, Dr. Lydell sent you to the biology lab at Alanbrooke College.
There you met a young student named Zack, who helped you prove that
it wasn't a virus or a chemical, but a bacterium that was making people
ill.
But things went terribly wrong. Zack brought a man in
the latter stages of the disease to the lab, then fled to seek help.
The man, crazed with fear by his uncontrollable bleeding, has made you
a prisoner in the lab. Fran, the pre-med student sent by Dr. Lydell
to help you, fainted dead away. Now you are trying to figure out if
any of Fran's antibiotics will work against this new disease. You are
afraid the man will die before the beleaguered hospital staff can get
here.
Which antibiotic did you think would be best to kill the
pathogenic bacterium?
CHOOSE ONE:
 Acyclovir
Amantadine
Amphotericin
B
Tetracycline
Ethambutol
Gentamicin
amikacin
Penicillin
G
None
of the above will work.
If you're not sure which
antibiotic would be best,
you may go back and review the clues:
