Introduction
Ten long years have past since the uprising. The fighting was bloody, but successful. The society leaders have effectively separated the country of Camali from the rest of the world. You are separated from the rest of the world by the wall, 100 meters high. No one enters. No one leaves. You have forgotten what life was like outside.
You are a member of the faction that judges matters, Faction B. You have begun to discover things that just don't match up. At first, it seemed just coincidence that the sick died when they reached their 60th year, but now you are convinced something is fishy. No one lives past 60. The medical faction is keeping secrets, and you have heard whispers of a word...euthanasia...from your parents hushed conversations. You don't understand what this means, and want to decide for yourself what you think...So, you decide to break into Camali's secret information bank from the past.
Task
Faction B member. Your task is to follow the nagging at the back of your mind about this foreign word euthanasia. Search the avaiable databases to find out what it is. It seems that the Medical Faction is beginning to be divided on the issue. Find two different perspectives held by the various secret divisions. Then, decide whether this is related to the dissapearance of the elderly. If you were in a position to do something, would you?
Process
Congratulations.
You have accessed the database. Keep a look out for people while you search. It would not be good for someone to see you.
