• Should the government work in secret to try to protect its citizens, even if it risks endangering them? Why or why not?

• If you knew there was a potential threat, what lengths would you go through in order to protect the population? Would your answer change if it meant sacrificing some to protect others?

• The characters sacrifice for their job. What kind of person do you think would sign up for a job like that?

• Did you agree with Craig’s decision in the beginning of the story to leave his position?

• How could he have better handled his dilemma with Trisha?

• After their situation became clear, the characters found themselves in a precarious position. What would you do if you were in their shoes?

• Brett wasn’t trusted by the other scientists. What would you have done (or done differently) if you had been in his position?

• If you had been the antagonist, would you have tried to achieve your goal the same way as he did? If not, what would you have done?
