CHAPTER 27

TRANSFER AGENTS


"It really is a waste of time," Barbara Archer said at her seat in the conference room. "F4 is dead, just her heart's still beating. We've tried everything. Nothing stops Shiva. Not a damned thing."

"Except the -B vaccine antibodies," Killgore noted.

"Except them," Archer agreed. "But nothing else works, does it?"

There was agreement around the table. They had literally tried every treatment modality known to medicine, including things merely speculated upon at CDC, USAMRIID, and the Pasteur Institute in Paris. They'd even tried every antibiotic in the arsenal from penicillin to Keflex, and two new synthetics under experimentation by Merck and Horizon. The use of the antibiotics had merely been t-crossing and i-dotting, since not one of them helped viral infections, but in desperate times people tried desperate measures, and perhaps something new and unexpected might have happened-but not with Shiva. This new and improved version of Ebola hemorrhagic fever, genetically engineered to be hardier than the naturally produced version that still haunted the Congo River Valley, was as close to 100 percent fatal and 100 percent resistant to treatment as anything known to medical science, and absent a landmark breakthrough in infectious-disease treatment, nothing would help those exposed to it. Many would suffer exposure from the initial release, and the rest would get it from the -A vaccine Steve Berg had developed, and through both modalities, Shiva would sweep across the world like a slow-developing storm. Inside of six months, the people left alive would fall into three categories. First, those who hadn't been exposed in any way. There would be few of them, since every nation on earth would gobble up supplies of the -A vaccine and inject their citizens with it, because the first Shiva victims would horrify human with access to a television. The second group would be those rarest of people whose immune systems were sufficient to protect them from Shiva. The lab had yet to discover any such individuals, but some would inevitably be out there-happily, most of those would probably die from the collapse of social services in the cities and towns of the world, mainly from starvation or from the panicked lawlessness sure to accompany the plague or from the ordinary bacterial diseases that accompanied large numbers of unburied dead

The third group would be the few thousand people in Kansas. Project Lifeboat, as they thought of it. That group would be composed of active Project members just a few hundred of them-and their families, and other selected scientists protected by Berg's -B vaccine. The Kansas facility was large, isolated, and protected by large quantities of weapons, should any unwelcome visitors approach.

Six months, they thought. Twenty-seven weeks. That's what the computer projections told them. Some areas would go faster than others. The models suggested that Africa would go last of all, because they'd be the last to get the -A vaccine distributed, and because of the poor infrastructure for delivering vital services. Europe would go down first, with its socialized medical-care systems and pliant citizens sure to show up for their shots when summoned, then America, then, in due course, the rest of the world.

"The whole world, just like that," Killgore observed, looking out the windows at the New York/New Jersey border area, with its rolling hills and green deciduous trees. The great farms on the plains that ran from Canada to Texas would go fallow, though some would grow wild wheat for centuries to come. The bison would expand rapidly from their enclaves in Yellowstone and private game farms, and with them the wolves and barren-ground grizzly bear, and the birds, and the coyotes and the prairie dogs. Nature would restore Her balance very quickly, the computer models told them; in less than five years, the entire earth would be transformed.

"Yes. John," Barb Archer agreed. "But we're not there yet. What do we do with the test subjects?"

President Mandela Vows To Create `Rainbow Nation'

May 11, 1994 By Liz Sly, Tribune Staff Writer.

PRETORIA, South Africa — Under a sunny African sky and before the eyes of the world, Nelson Mandela solemnly vowed Tuesday to execute his duties as president, climaxing the most remarkable two weeks in the country's history and heralding a final end to its long journey toward freedom.

"I, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, do hereby swear to be faithful to the Republic of South Africa," he recited in the stilted, formal manner for which he is famous, concluding a personal odyssey by one of the world's most remarkable men that took him from a prison cell to the presidency.

Ranger recalls 'insane,' deadly Somalia mission

October 27, 2001 Posted: 11:03 PM EDT (0303 GMT)

(CNN) -- Before there was Afghanistan, there was Somalia -- and the U.S. military's first "battle" with forces linked to al Qaeda, the terrorist organization run by Saudi dissident Osama bin Laden.

On October 3, 1993, a mission involving scores of U.S. Special Operations forces went astray when one of their Blackhawk helicopters was shot down over Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia. Outnumbered 10 to 1, the U.S. forces escaped with 18 killed


THOMAS: The mission we went in to do was a success. But on the way out, the first helicopter got shot down, about six blocks away from my guys. We moved as a unit -- the Delta Force unit included -- down toward the crash site.

American Blood Shed In Somalia

October 05, 1993

Developments over the weekend in Somalia gave gut-wrenching substance to the worst fears about the continued presence of American troops there: that too many will suffer and die in a drawn-out, ill-defined and ultimately futile military misadventure.

At least two dozen U.S. soldiers were killed and 75 wounded, the Pentagon announced Monday, casualties of a new assault on warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid's forces.

The fact that some other G.I.'s apparently have fallen into Aidid's hands, coupled with the spectacle of jubilant Somalis dragging a U.S. helicopter crewman's body through the streets of Mogadishu, makes ever larger and more disturbing the specter of U.S. humiliation in an African quagmire.

All the more so since President Clinton still has not explained convincingly to the American people why U.S. forces remain in harm's way in a place where they were dispatched 10 months ago for the most noble, selfless reasons.

Clinton needs to get himself a mandate now-or get the American troops out. With body bags starting to return from Mogadishu, the President owes it to all citizens to level with them about the objectives American forces are pursuing in Somalia and to identify what U.S. interests, if any, are at stake.

It will not be good enough merely to reiterate Washington's formulaic commitment to the United Nations' Somalia mission. Nor is it adequate just to put pressure on the secretary-general to step up efforts to arrange a political settlement.

The latter has been the administration's answer to increasing congressional and public concern about the role of the roughly 4,500 American soldiers still in Somalia.

The administration's immediate reaction to the slaying and wounding of so many soldiers Sunday night was to order the deployment of 200 or so more troops as reinforcements.

While that may be necessary in the short run to keep casualties down, President Clinton has to understand that the American public is in no mood for an ongoing escalation of U.S. involvement in Somalia.

If he hopes to sustain U.S. participation in the UN's work there, he has a king-size selling job to do-one that will have to overcome the searing image of Somalis, no longer starving stick-figures, abusing the corpse of an American soldier sent to help them.

AJR


American Journalism Review

From AJR, March 2002

Appointment in Somalia

A behind-the-scenes look at how reporter Mark Bowden penetrated the military culture and painstakingly reconstructed, minute by minute, the story of “Black Hawk Down.”

By Alicia C. Shepard

Alicia C. Shepard is a former AJR senior writer and NPR ombudsman.

Mark Bowden never dreamed that he would write the definitive book about a wretched battle in Somalia, one that would alter U.S. military policy. He expected a Tom Clancy to tease out the hideous details behind angry Somalis dragging American corpses through the streets of Mogadishu.

As newspaper accounts appeared, reporter Bowden inhaled stories about American soldiers who died on a mission to snatch two key lieutenants of a Somali warlord. The October 3, 1993, Battle of Mogadishu struck him immediately as amazing fodder for a book.

Only 120 soldiers fought against a heavily armed rag-tag Somali militia. A relatively small American force, overwhelmingly outnumbered, fighting for their lives. Eighteen Americans died. Track down as many of the surviving Rangers as you can, and you have one sensational story.

But Bowden tossed the idea aside. If Clancy didn't do it, surely a reporter who covers the military would, someone with numerous sources inside an institution known for its impenetrability. Bowden knew little about the armed services. Besides, he had other projects going at the Philadelphia Inquirer. "Somebody is going to get themselves a hell of a book," Bowden thought, and moved on.

Six years later, two years after his 29-part series on the battle appeared in the Inquirer, somebody did get a hell of a book. "Black Hawk Down: A Story of Modern War" is a domestic and international best-selling, bullet-by-bullet account of the Battle of Mogadishu.

And this year, somebody got himself one hell of a blockbuster movie produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by Ridley Scott. For three consecutive weekends after it came out, the movie was No. 1 in box office receipts. Bowden is traveling the globe first-class with Hollywood luminaries attending premieres, swimming in the "Black Hawk Down" memorial swimming pool behind his house outside Philadelphia and driving a blue $55,500 Corvette Z06 that he's already pushed past 100 mph--just to see what it feels like.

"My wife thinks the car is the most ridiculous thing in the world," says Bowden.

Gail Bowden's comment: "Man, are you 50."

Bowden is now living a fantasy nursed by many journalists.

Black Hawk Down -- An American War Story -- The Day U.S. Got Stung In Somalia

By Mark Bowden

The Philadelphia Inquirer

Late in the afternoon of Sunday, Oct. 3, 1993, attack helicopters dropped about 120 elite American soldiers into a busy neighborhood in the heart of Mogadishu, Somalia. Their mission was to abduct several top lieutenants of Somali warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid and return to base. It was supposed to take about an hour.

Instead, two of their high-tech UH-60 Black Hawk attack helicopters were shot down. The men were pinned down through a long and terrible night in a hostile city, fighting for their lives. When they emerged the following morning, 18 Americans were dead and 73 were wounded. One, helicopter pilot Michael Durant, had been carried off by an angry mob. He was still alive, held captive somewhere in the city.

CHAPTER 9

STALKERS


"We need a set of healthy test subjects," Barbara Archer said. "These people are too-too sick to be proper benchmarks for Shiva."

"That means some risks."

"I know that," Archer assured him. "And you know we need better test subjects."

"Yes, but the risks are serious," Killgore observed.

"And I know that, " Archer replied.

"Okay, Barb, run it up the line. I won't object. You want to take care of Chester? I have to run over to see Steve."

"Fine." She walked to the wall, picked up the phone, and punched three digits onto the keypad to get the disposal people.

For his part, Killgore went into the changing area. He stopped in the decontamination chamber first of all, pushed the large square red button, and waited for the machinery to spray him down from all directions with the fog solution of antiseptics that were known to be immediately and totally lethal to the Shiva virus. Then he went through the door into the changing room itself, where he removed the blue plastic suit, tossed it into the bin for further and more dramatic decontamination-it wasn't really needed, but the people in the lab felt better about it then-then dressed in surgical greens. On the way out, he put on a white lab coat. The next stop was Steve Berg's shop. Neither he nor Barb Archer had said it out loud yet, but everyone would feel better if they had a working vaccine for Shiva.

"Hey, John," Berg said, when his colleague came in.

"'Morning, Steve," Killgore responded in greeting. "How're the vaccines coming?"

"Well, we have 'A' and 'B' working now." Berg gestured to the monkey cages on the other side of the glass. " 'A' batch has the yellow stickers. 'B' is the blue, and the control group is red."

Killgore looked. There were twenty of each, for a total of sixty rhesus monkeys. Cute little devils. "Too bad," he observed.

"I don't like it, either, but that's how it's done, my friend." Neither man owned a fur coat.

"When do you expect results?"

"Oh, five to seven days for the 'A' group. Nine to fourteen for the control group. And the 'B' group-well, we have hopes for them, of course. How's it going on your side of the house?"

"Lost one today."

"This fast?" Berg asked, finding it disturbing.

"His liver was off the chart to begin with. That's something we haven't considered fully enough. There will be people out there with an unusually high degree of vulnerability to our little friend."

"They could be canaries, man," Berg worried, thinking of the songbirds used to warn miners about bad air. "And we learned how to deal with that two years ago, remember?"

"I know." In a real sense, that was where the entire idea had come from. But they could do it better than the foreigners had. "What's the difference in time between humans and our little furry friends?"

"Well, I didn't aerosol any of these, remember. This is a vaccine test, not an infection test."

"Okay, I think you need to set up an aerosol control test. I hear you have an improved packing method."

"Maggie wants me to do that. Okay. We have plenty of monkeys. I can set it up in two days, a full-up test of the notional delivery system."

"With and without vaccines?"

"I can do that." Berg nodded. You should have set it up already, idiot, Killgore didn't say to his colleague. Berg was smart, but he couldn't see very far beyond the limits of his microscopes. Well, nobody was perfect, even here. "I don't go out of my way to kill things, John," Berg wanted to make clear to his physician colleague.

"I understand, Steve, but for every one we kill in proofing Shiva, we'll save a few hundred thousand in the wild, remember? And you take good care of them while they're here," he added. The test animals here lived an idyllic life, in comfortable cages, or even in large communal areas where the food was abundant and the water clear. The monkeys had a lot of room, with pseudotrees to climb, air temperature like that of their native Africa, and no predators to threaten them. As in human prisons, the condemned ate hearty meals to go along with their constitutional rights. But people like Steve Berg still didn't like it, important and indispensable as it was to the overall goal. Killgore wondered if his friend wept at night for the cute little brown-eyed creatures. Certainly Berg wasn't all that concerned with Chester-except that he might represent a canary, of course: That could indeed ruin anything, but that was also why Berg was developing "A" vaccine.

Ballistic trauma

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The term ballistic trauma refers to a form of physical trauma sustained from the discharge of arms or munitions. The most common forms of ballistic trauma stem from firearms used in armed conflicts, civilian sporting and recreational pursuits, and criminal activity.


The degree of tissue disruption caused by a projectile is related to the size of the temporary versus permanent cavity it creates as it passes through tissue.


Non-fatal gunshot wounds frequently have severe and long-lasting effects, even after the victim has made a successful recovery. Typically, the consequences involve some form of major disfigurement and/or permanent disability.
