Abstract: 
First paragraph: It was February 11, 2004, and the female scientist was working in a Bio-Safety Level 4 maximum containment laboratory at Fort Detrick, MD. Filtered breathing air flowed continuously into her powder-blue, pressurized vinyl suit; her hands moved slowly and deliberately in their two layers of gloves. It was just another day at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, commonly known as USAMRIID but suddenly, something went wrong.
