The Blackout Syndrome
Episode Three

The Story So Far

It's a hot summer night in the city, and too many air conditioners have caused 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 disease came 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. Together, you hypothesized what kind of pathogen could be in the milk -- bacterium, a virus, a fungus or a toxic chemical -- and ran some comparative tests to test your hypothesis.

Now the test results are in. Zack has disappeared. And Fran, a student volunteer at Mercy Hospital, is here, demanding to know if your tests have identified the type of pathogen in the milk.

What do you tell Fran?

It's bacteria
It's a virus
It's a fungus
It's a chemical
It's none of the above
I don't know
Review the test results
