## Chapters

### Medic on a Mission

*“I’m handling my first medical outbreak pretty well. We need to help these people!”*

Starting Dialogue:

> **You:** There’s an outbreak of a new disease: Llama Flu. It’s origins are mysterious, so we’ve got to work with the medical team to find a cure.
>
>

Ending Dialogue:

> **You:** One patient is convinced that patient zero was a space alien. But looking at his chart, he seems to blame space aliens for everything.
>
>
> **Other:** Ah, yes! Garrett. He’s alien-obsessed. He also has a theory that we’re living in a computer simulation. Gotta love his imagination.
>
>
>
> **You:** We‘re going to have to work overtime to find a cure. People need reassurance about their health and safety.
>
>

### Rational Researcher

*“I’ve never seen a medical emergency like this before. We must find a cure soon!”*

Starting Dialogue:

> **You:** I’ve never seen anything like this virus. It spreads at an alarming rate and almost is alien in nature.
>
>
> **Other:** Alien in nature? You’re sounding a bit like Garrett, that alien-obsessed patient I mentioned.
>
>
>
> **You:** You’re right. I’m sure once we dig deeper, we’ll find a rational explanation.
>
>

Ending Dialogue:

> **You:** Well, I did want some hands on medical experience with an epidemic. I sure am getting that now.
>
>
>
>
>
>
>
> **Other:** At least after this experience, you’ll be prepared for anything!
>

Starting Dialogue:

> **You:** We should investigate the source of the first documented case. It might give us a clue to find a cure.
>
>
> **Other:** Are you sure? It might end up being a dead end and there’s no time to waste. Running more tests might be more useful.
>
>
>
> **You:** Yes, let’s get as much information as we can. Have the files sent over to me ASAP.
>
>

Ending Dialogue:

> **Other:** I got the files on the first ecumenism Llama Flu case for you.
>
>
> **You:** Hmm, this says it was a llama farmer on the outskirts of town. It’s the same area where they say all those llamas were abducted by aliens.
>
>
>
> **Other:** People in this town are so obsessed with aliens. I’m sure aliens have better things to do than visit Earth and abduct llamas.
>

### Purposeful Practitioner

*“The nurse at the Medical Center as very helpful. We must keep working on a cure!”*

Starting Dialogue:

> **You:** ALL these boxes are Llama Flu patient files? Cancel my 1 o’clock. Wait. Don’t cancel my 1 o’clock. It’s another Llama Flu patient.
> **Other:** Doctor, let’s keep running the experimental trials. I’ve reviewed your notes and think you’re onto something.
>
>

Ending Dialogue:

> **You:** We had a breakthrough today! One of the patients showed higher resistance to Llama Flu. Way less purple stuff.
> **Other:** Hey, that’s why I became a nurse: to reduce purple stuff. I think you’re doing a great job!
>
>

### Fearless Physician

*“Our alien-obsessed patient at the hospital left a note for me saying, “Trust no one.””*

Starting Dialogue:

> **You:** Looks like that alien-obsessed patient, Garrett, left a note for me: “Trust no one. Aliens are among us and they're stealing our llamas”.
>
>
> **Other:** Poor guy. He must have had a tough life to want to escape reality like that.
>
>
>
> **You:** I asked around - he’s the president of the local conspiracy club. Very put together for someone who’s living a fantasy. Hmmm....
>
>

Ending Dialogue:

> **You:** I didn’t notice before, but Garrett’s note has a map drawn on the back of it. It looks like a filing cabinet?
>
>
> **Other:** Doctor, I’m not sure we have time to go on treasure hunts right now. We have to continue our research.
>
>
>
> **You:** It will take only five minutes to open a filing cabinet drawer. I’ll try any leads at this point.
>

Starting Dialogue:

> **Other:** You have some very unconventional methods, doctor. But I admire your dedication!
> **You:** Thanks! I learned from the best... and also from watching doctors on TV.
>
>

Ending Dialogue:

> **You:** That’s weird. I went to the location on the map our patient Garrett left, but nothing was there.
>
>
> **Other:** Nothing odd about that - he just has an active imagination.
>
>
>
> **You:** The funny thing about it as that I could tell a cabinet used to be there. It’s like someone took the whole thing!
>
>

### Case-Cracking Clinician

Starting Dialogue:

*“A file cabinet was stolen from our medical facility. This just gets more perplexing!”*

> **You:** Who would steal an entire filing cabinet from a medical facility? What was in there that was so important?
> **Other:** Let’s keep thinking about it, but, for right now, we can’t get distracted. Patients really need our help.
>
>

Ending Dialogue:

> **You:** Ugh, every time I feel like we’ve made a breakthrough, the virus mutates. I’ve never seen anything like it before.
>
>
> **Other:** We’ve been making great progress so far. I know this is frustrating, though.
>
>
>
> **You:** Just feels like there’s something off about this virus. What am I missing? I’m going to go over my notes again.
>
>

### Experimental Researcher

*“The medical lab is working on my sample. Let’s treat more patients while we wait.”*

Starting Dialogue:

> **You:** That’s peculiar - someone left a vial of liquid on top of my notes. Did you see anyone?
>
>
> **Other:** I didn’t, but I’ve been pretty busy. Send it to the lab for analysis?
>
>
>
> **You:** Good idea. I think I’ve been hanging around that alien-obsessed patient, Garrett, too much. I am getting paranoid.
>
>

Ending Dialogue:

> **You:** This results about the vial came back from the lab, but they can’t be right. The cells, they are... they’re ALIEN!
>
>
> **Other:** There must be a logical explanation for this... is what I would say if there was, but there isn’t. I have something to tell you: I’m an alien.
>
>
>
> **You:** WHAT?!
>
>

### Top Secret Specialist

> **Other:** I’m an alien! And Llama Flu is my fault. My ship stopped on Earth for cheese puffs and I accidentally spilled a beaker. I felt guilty, so I stayed behind to help.
>
>
> **You:** ...?!
>
>
>
> **Other:** I’m telling the truth. I left that vial for you. It’s the missing piece of your cure! Believe me, I’d never wish harm to your planet or its snacks.
>
>

Ending Dialogue:

> **You:** It worked! I can’t believe it. I still think either I’m dreaming or this is a huge practical joke the medical board is playing on me.
>
>
> **Other**: Its not a joke. I’m really proud of you! I hope you can continue to trust me and that you'll keep my secret. This place is my home now.
>
>
>
> **You:** Your secret is safe with me. But watch out for that alien-obsessed patient, Garrett. He’s totally on to you.
