You are injured and must travel for medical help through a dangerous swamp that contains many pockets of quicksand as well as insects, reptiles, and other creatures that can further harm you. You may choose a guide. Your choices are as follows:
- One newly arrived, well studied, carrying the latest technology and who has had many classes in swamp survival,
- One young, beautiful, well-spoken, and who loves music and is much fun to be around,
- One sober and boring with gray hair. a limp and an ancient manual who has lived in the swamp for years,
- One without experience but quite enthusiastic and confident in his ability to lead and who guarantees your safe passage,
- One who is quite convincing that the dangers are exaggerated and that the crossing requires little thought or preparation, and
- None; you feel confident in your knowledge and abilities and, based on how you feel, do not need a guide.
