(link:"Who am I?")[You are a time-traveling E.coli bacteria, (print: $name). You are from the year 2050. (link:"Why am I here?")[In 2050, a global health crisis called antimicrobial resistance (AMR), has devastated planet Earth. AMR has wiped out most of your bacteria family as well as most of the human population. AMR was preventable, but it wasn't taken seriously... until it was too late. You are a part of a task force, vigorously trained by the (link: "UMF (United Microbes Federation) Organization.")[UMF (United Microbes Federation) Organization.

These targets are chosen, because they are identified in history as super spreaders of AMR microbes. The future of the human and microbial race depends on you! [[Begin Mission|Begin Mission]]]]]]]

Today's target: **Hugh Mungus** from the year **2020**. Your mission is to track down the multi-drug resistant, AMR bacteria within the intestine of **Hugh Mungus** and neutralize them. You have **12 minutes** to fulfill your mission. If you don't get back to this time machine within that time, this machine will cease to function, and you will be stuck in the past. Forever.

Hi, (print: $name). This is your reference book. It is a list of words you might want more information about: (link: "Microorganism or Microbe")[A microorganism(microbe) are tiny, microscopic creatures like a bacteria, fungi, or parasites that are mostly invisible to the naked eye. However, they can be found living nearly everywhere from the external environment to on and in your own body! In fact, the National Institute of Health stated that microbes make up about 2.7 kg (5 pounds) of the body weight of a healthy human, and it is estimated that there are about ten times the amount of microbes to human cells on the body (NIH, 2012).] (link: "Antimicrobial or Antibiotics")[Antimicrobials are drugs that can treat infections certain microorganisms create. Antibiotics are a type of antimicrobial that kills certain bacteria. Antibiotics are an incredible, revolutionary treatment for diseases that are life threatening, and there are many circumstances in which antibiotics should be used to treat a life-threatening infection.] (link: "AMR (Antibiotic Resistance)")[AMR stands for "Antimicrobial Resistance". AMR causes drug-resistant infections. AMR is a response to the overuse and misuse of antimicrobials (antibiotics) in humans and agriculture. Microbes protect themselves by developing weapon-like defenses when faced with some type of threat. Historically, we have used antimicrobials like antibiotics to treat infections certain microbes create. Antibiotics are an incredible, revolutionary treatment for diseases that are life threatening, and there are many circumstances in which antibiotics should be used to treat a life-threatening infection. Scientists have realized, however, that antimicrobials have been greatly overused and misused in humans and in agriculture (Interagency Coordination Group on Antimicrobial Resistance, 2019, p. 3). Every time we use antibiotics, we are also destroying good microbes, ones that have been found to play positive roles in human health, and increasing the chance that those microbes will develop resistance to these drugs (World Health Organization, 2018). We didn’t realize that microbes would be fighting back and gaining resistance way quicker than we had imagined. Microbes also can ‘share’ the information to make and use these weapons to not only species of its own kind but to other species of microbes that it comes into contact with (World Health Organization, 2018).] (link-goto: "Return to Story", (history:)'s last)

You pull the lever before you and you feel the machine shake. "Next stop, year 2020," you hear Harlowe say. [[To 2020|Hugh Kitchen]] [[Look at your Reference Book|Reference Book]]

"You have arrived to the home of Hugh Mungus in the year 2020," you hear Harlowe say on the speaker. (link:"Status of target, Harlowe?")[Target Location: Kitchen Target Status: (link:"Drinking Coffee")[Drinking Coffee "Well, that's convenient," you think.

With your thruster on, you manage to quickly fly your way through Hugh's throat, through his stomach, and finally through the opening to his intestines! [[Mm, the sweet smell of the intestines|Intestines]] [[Look at your Reference Book|Reference Book]]

Time to hunt for this AMR microbe. You scan the inside of the intestines, and you are taken back by what you see. The landscape, once a bustling, diverse city of microbes is now a barren desert. Not a microbe to be seen. "Hugh took antibiotics, possibly multiple doses, recently," you think. "I must find and neutralize that AMR microbe and quick. A place like this means I'm vulnerable," you think. You [[look around|Look]] for clues. [[Look at your Reference Book|Reference Book]]
