Alas, poor Squeaky has been feeling under the weather. Little by little over the past 10
years, he has shown increasing symptoms of a terrible problem. After last years
Transfusion Confusion, he really started to behave unusually. He constantly wants to be
building and rebuilding other robots. He is always waiting until the last minute however,
and many times has rebuilt robots the night before they are due to the customer. After
numerous tests, the experts can conclude only one thing. Squeaky has a severe case
of... Best Fever.
Six weeks of treatment can make him better but the treatment can be severe. His
system must be treated to re-sequence his DNA in order to give him more energy. His
DNA must be denatured, sorted and then re-sequenced. There is a large Hidden Gene
in the human genome that causes aging. Capturing this will allow Squeaky to never
grow old. Damage to his good DNA must be limited so doctors have decided to try a
new radical procedure. Nanotech biobots will be injected into Squeaky's system to
separate and isolate his cells. This is a new technology with several shortfalls. First, the
energy packs for the biobots only lasts 3 minutes; not much time to complete the
mission. Also, mobility is limited. This allows the biobots to utilize more of the available
energy saving DNA. Because of these limitations, BEST feels that teams working
together enhance the chance of Squeaky's full recovery.
Your job is to initiate the denaturing process by activating the Denaturing Thermal
Switch and then to separate the PCR Primers from the DNA deoxyribonucleotides. It is
also advantageous to capture the hidden aging gene. Work together to save Squeaky
so he will be at his Best for another 10 years.
The Game's Objective
The objective of this game is to separate the PCR Primers from the DNA
deoxyribonucleotides. You can maximize your score by working with your neighboring
competitors and placing your game pieces in a shared area on the blood vessel wall.
Capturing and placing the Hidden Gene game piece on to the elevated capture
receptacle can further enhance your score.
