Brian is a government scientist with a knack for creating new infectious diseases. He is so good at creating deadly diseases that the government contracted him to work on a top secret project to create diseases to be used in warfare. Brian knew he'd get lonely working by himself all the time, so he requested to have a secretary with him on his project to get him food, file lab reports, and clean the lab sometimes. Brian kept all the cures for the diseases he created in a special safe that used his social security number to open. That way, if he ever infected himself or his secretary, he'd be able to access the cures. After several years of working on the project, Brian convinced the government to let him take a much needed vacation to the Carribean. He left his secretary a list of things to do in his absense. Half way through his vacation, he received a phone call from his secretary, who was hysterical.
"Brian! It's Me! I've accidentily knocked over the red vile!"
"That's the airborne virus." He said, calmly. "The bad news is, you're certainly infected. The good news is, you have atleast a full day to live"
"How's that good news?"
"You have plenty of time to open the safe and take the cure."
"Brian, you never gave me the code!"
"It's just my social security number."
"But I don't know your social security number! Brian, I'm going to die!"
The government had made two things clear to Brian: Enemies were likely to have had the lab phones tapped so Brian was prohibitted from giving sensitive information over the phone, and under no circumstances were the enemies allowed to have access to the cures. If they obtained access, his mission would be a failure.
There was a long silince before Brian finally spoke:
