Up: Game 2  Up: Game 2 Outline

See, there's a *reason* why we got the FDA...

Let's look at this logically, you think to yourself. Fred transformed - well, said he transformed, I'll assume I can trust him - as he was bringing his groceries to the front door. I transformed as I was picking up his groceries. Therefore, the groceries are a suspect. Satisfied by this reasoning, you crouch to examine the spilled bags.

"Hey, are you O.K.?" Fred says, as you scan the bags and boxes. "If I thought you could be affected, I wouldn't have said anything. I'm really sorry about this..."

"Fred, where did you buy these?" you ask.

"Farmer's market," Fred says, surprised. "There was this guy with a stand who was offering a really good deal. What are you..."

"We both transformed after touching these, didn't seem a coincidence. Did you break the seals on any of these while you were carrying them towards your door?"

"Uh, I may have - the pickles were just in a plastic tub..."

"Ha!" you say, zeroing in on the items in question. "And the pickles were in this bag, the one I was just picking up! That must be it!"

"I don't see what you mean," says Fred. "I ... oh, I do see! And they were already packaged at the market, so no-one else would be affected! He must have put something in them that transformed us!"

"Exactly," you reply. "Let's go," you say, and reach for the pickles.

Fred yells, "No, don't!" - but it's too late, as you feel yourself begin to shift again...
